JANUARY, 1906.
JAMES SWIFT ROGERS, A.B.
By Almon Danforth Hodges, Jr., A.M.
It was a heroic deed, undertaken with no desire of reward or
hope of glory, but simply for the purpose of saving the lives of two
unknown black men. Planned on the spur of the moment, and ex-
ecuted at once in the face of what seemed to others certain death,
it was successful through its brilliant audacity. So far as I can
learn, it was never alluded to afterwards by the man who performed
it, and only after his death were the details made public.
The First South Carolina Volunteers — the first slave regiment
mustered into the service of the United States during the late civil
war — was on duty at Port Royal Ferry in South Carolina. Port
Royal Island was held by the United States troops with headquar-
ters at Beaufort, while the main land was occupied by the Confede-
rate forces. Before the war the main thoroup-hfare between Beaufort
and Charleston had been the Shell Road, of which the ferry across
the Coosaw River formed a part. At the ferry the road projected
on each side as a causeway into the river, ending in a wharf or pier
for the use of the ferry-boat. The ferry had been abolished by the
war, the piers were in damaged condition, and the river-channel
formed a barrier between the opposing picket lines. Occasionally
at night scouting parties in boats ventured across the river, but
these adventures were difficult and dangerous. To cross by day
was simply to invite sure death or captivity.
Early one morning two dusky forms amid the piles at the end of
the opposite causeway were descried by some of the Union pickets.
Their frantic signals indicated that they were fugitive slaves, anx-
ious to pass the barrier between slavery and freedom and unable to
swim across the stream ; but their case seemed hopeless, and while
some watched for developments, the rest went about their allotted
duties. Suddenly there appeared on the river a dug-out, propelled
boldly towards the further side by a Federal officer, who calmly
paddled up to the causeway, took the fugitives on board and began
the return journey. When the canoe had reached mid-stream, it
was discovered by the enemy and saluted with a storm of bullets.
These, however, failed to reach their mark, and the boat, continu-

ing steadily on its course, gained its haven in safety. Evidently a
passage in broad daylight was considered euch an impossibility by
the Confederate pickets that they had ceased their vigils for a mo-
ment, and this exact moment was seized by the daring officer for
his chivalrous deed.
To do such an act for the benefit of another without reference to
the possible cost to himself, and to do it in a simple, unostentatious
manner, was characteristic of James Swift Rogers. He was then a
captain, and in the abundant vigor of youthful manhood. He was
full of life and full of the joy of living. There were loving parents
and friends awaiting his return to his home and his college. Above all,
there was one who had agreed to keep herself only unto him so long
as both should live. The future held out the brightest allurements,
and there was so much to live for. Yet when a call for help came,
his helping hand was at once extended in complete forgetfulness of
6elf. And as it was then, so it was throughout his life. Quiet,
self-sacrificing friendship was inborn in hiru. Perhaps he inherited
it from his Quaker ancestors.
John2 Rogers of Marshfield, whose father bore the 6ame name,
joined the Quakers about 1660 and suffered accordingly, as is set
forth in the Scituate Friends' Records. He and his descendants
for five generations persisted in the faith. His son Thomas3 and
his grandson John" were born, married and died in this same town
of Marshfield. Stephen5 Rogers, of the next generation, moved to
Danby, Vermont, and there his son Aaron6 Rogers was born, mar-
ried Dinah Folger, and had by her twelve children. Aaron's eighth
child, Elisha Folger7 Rogers, was born June 20, 1813, married
December 12, 1835, Elizabeth Mitchell, and had, at Danby, two
children : Jethro Folger6 Rogers, born in 1836, Avho died in infancy ;
and James Swift8 Rogers, born March 28, 1840, the subject of this
sketch. *
While a young child, James Swift Rogers was taken by his pa-
rents to New York City ; and thence, when he was about nine or
ten years of age, to "Worcester, Mass., where his uncle Dr. Seth
Rogers had a successful sanatorium. Here, at his first coming, he
met two persons whose idealizing influences began at once and lasted
through life : — the girl who became his wife ; and the clergyman
who modified his theological creed, intensified his convictions regard-
ing right and wrong, increased his hatred of slavery, became his
captain and then his colonel during the civil war, and was his friend
always.
Rogers entered Harvard College in 1861. The bugles of war
were then calling men to arms. His parents were Quakers and
strongly opposed to fighting, and he had been bred in this faith ;
hut when the chance offered for striking a blow at slavery, he joined
the army. He enlisted in Company C, 51st Massachusetts Volun-

Some of his Descendants. By Josiah H. Drummond, 1S9S.

teere, his friend and mentor Thomas Wentworth Higginson being
captain, and became corporal and sergeant. When his captain
was made colonel of the First South Carolina Volunteers, he took '
the commission of captain in this regiment.* To join this regiment
of black soldiers required considerable moral courage. There was,
among the officers and soldiers of the North, a strong prejudice
against the experiment of enlisting the slaves. It was not believed,
except by a few, that these blacks would have the courage to face
their former masters ; to arm them was considered unwise, and to
associate with them as their officers was thought degrading. More-
over, the Confederate authorities had declared that these troops
would be regarded as outside of the ordinary rules of warfare,
would be shot or hung when captured. But all these considerations
were to him only stronger demands for his help, and he acted
promptly and cheerfully in response. How well he performed his
duties, how readily he adapted himself to the requirements of a dif-
ficult position, how efficient he was in training and leading his men
whom he inspired with respect and affection for himself — this his
commanding officer told at his funeral.
Edward Earle was a prominent citizen of Worcester, of which
city he became mayor. He and his wife, Ann Barker Buffum, were
members of the Society of Friends. Both were strong characters
and maintained stoutly their religious tenets, which included hatred
of slavery, and also of war. Their only child was Anne Buffum
Earle. That the man who was to marry their daughter should be-
come a soldier was to them a sorrow, which became an unbearable
pain when he transferred from a nine-months' regiment to one en-
listed for three years. So they applied for his discharge to the
commanding general at Port Royal, who promptly declined to
release " the best captain " of the regiment, but offered instead to
promote him to be major. Then they appealed to the Governor of
Massachusetts, and to the authorities at Washington. So resolute
and persistent were their efforts, backed by all the influence they
could command, that they finally obtained positive orders from the
War Department, in compliance with which Captain Rogers was
obliged to resign; and late in the year 1863 he returned to his
studies at Harvard, where he was graduated in 1865.
For the graduating class at Harvard the college course terminates
practically with Class Day. As a loyal member of his class, Rogers
could not leave Cambridge until after that day. But at the earliest
possible moment — the 26th day of June — he married his long-chosen
wife, and the bridal journey lasted until Commencement Day, when
he returned to Harvard to receive his degree of A.B.
After graduation, Rogers resided in Worcester, where he en-
gaged in business, and where his three children were born. These
were: — Edward Earle Rogers, the "Class Baby," that is, the first-

born child of any graduated member of a class at Harvard, who was
born May 3, 1866, and died October 1, 1884; Eliot Folger Rog-
ers, born July 28, 1868, a brilliant scholar, who was graduated at
Harvard in 1890, receiving there the degrees of A.B., A.M., and
Ph.D., and also a Fellowship, studied at Gottingen University in
Germany, and died October 2, 1895, just after beginning his du-
ties as Instructor in Chemistry at Harvard ; and Annie Rogers,
born March 3, 1872, who married on June 6, 1895, Charles Davi-
son Knowlton, M.D., and is now living in Boston.
In 1878, Mr. Rogers moved to Red Rock, Pennsylvania, and
for some years was engaged in oil-producing in Pennsylvania, Xew
York and Kentucky. In 1882 he went to Rockport, Massachu-
setts , where he was in the employ of the Rockport Granite Com-
pany. In 1889 he went to Saratoga Springs, Xew York, and
thence in 1893 to Chicago, in both places superintending the erec-
tion of gas-generating plants, having patented many devices relating
to fuel gas. In 1899 he came to Boston, where he and his wife
made their home with their married daughter. Here he became
connected with the Boston Book Company, and was manager of
The Green Bag, a periodical devoted to legal matters.
Being a man of superabundant vigor and endowed with sturdy
health, having inherited from his ancestors of five generations those
principles of love of righteousness, abhorrence of injustice, and duty
towards one's neighbor which are typified by the name of Friend,
which is the proper designation of the Quaker, he was always tak-
ing upon himself some work of kindness and usefulness in addition
to his business duties. "While living in Worcester he joined the
Worcester Agricultural Society, the Worcester Horticultural So-
ciety, the Worcester County Mechanics Association (he was skilled
in the use of tools) , and the Grand Army of the Republic : was
commissioned Justice of the Peace, and elected member of the
Common Council ; was made a trustee of the Worcester County
Institution for Savings, and Treasurer of the Lyceum and Natural
History Association. In Pennsylvania he joined the Masons and
the A. 0. U. W., and served on the School Board of Foster Town-
ship. While in Rockport he was member of the School Board and
joined the Military Order of the Loyal Legion. In Chicago he was
connected with the city Civil Service Commission. Notable for its
judicious and generous helpfulness was his work for the Associated
Charities, in aiding the needy, encouraging the weak and, if need
be, reproving the wayward.
While in college he was awarded a prize for excellence in reading,
and his ability in this direction was afterwards utilized by giving
public readings in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Xew York.
He was an occasional contributor to periodical publications, and in
1884 wrote for the benefit of the Grand Army a military drama
entitled "Our Regiment," which was acted by several posts. In
1906.] James Swift Rogers. 15
1903 he met Major Caleb Huse, formerly of the United States
Army, who in 1861 cast his fortunes with the South, and had been
sent to Europe as Purchasing Agent by the Confederate Govern-
ment. Mr. Rogers persuaded the major to write out some of his
interesting experiences, and published them in 1904, under the
title of " The Supplies for the Confederate Army ; how they were
obtained in Europe and how paid for."
When living in Chicago, Mr. Rogers became interested in the
study of genealogy, and with his usual energy undertook to compile
the histories of all the Rogers families in the United States — a tre-
mendous task, as he was well aware. He printed in the Register
of January, .1901, a brief account of Hope Rogers of Connecticut
and his descendants. In 1902 he published James Rogers of New
London, Conn., and his Descendants. Two years later he carried
through the press The Rogerenes, some hitherto unpublished annals
belonging to the Colonial History of Connecticut, a book whose
publication must have been postponed indefinitely without his gene-
rous aid. Working diligently, he accumulated the most valuable
collection of facts extant concerning many families of his name.
His manuscripts, neatly arranged and excellently indexed, have
been given by his widow, in accordance with his expressed desire,
to this Society.
He joined the New England Historic Genealogical Society in
1899, and at once became one of its most valued members, being a
frequent donor to the library and serving most efficiently on many
committees. In January, 1905, he was elected a member of the
Council, and held this position at the time of his death.
His end came suddenly, as he had always hoped. On a Thurs-
day afternoon, with but slight warning, and at the end of a busy
day, he was unexpectedly stricken down. That evening the opera-
tion for appendicitis was performed, but too late. He evidently
was aware that the summons had come, and at intervals jotted down
generous and kindly directions for the disposal of material not fully
covered by his will. Through his thoughtfulness at this time, our
Society has received the valuable gift of his genealogical collections.
On Sunday, April 9, 1905, his life of usefulness was quietly ended.
No account of this man's life could be complete without reference
to her whose silent influence was so strong and so helpful during
forty years of married happiness. Her unvarying steadiness of
character, her unfaltering cheerfulness and unfailing love carried
them both safely through the tragedies of life, mitigating the sorrows
and enhancing the joys which come to mortals. Thrice death struck
at those dearest to her — her children and her husband — while to
the outside world she maintained her sweet serenity and her faith.
If her heart was broken, she gave no sign and made no complaint.
Yet three months after her husband's death, on July 1, 1905, she
followed him across the silent river.

INSCRIPTIONS FROM GRAVESTONES IN CHRIST
CHURCH, NORWICH, CONN.
Communicated by George S. Porter, Esq., of Norwich.
Christ Church (Episcopal) of Norwich, Conn., was organized
in 1747, and its earliest house of worship was opened two years
later. The present, and fourth, church building of the society
occupies the site of the first, and stands on a lot on Washington
street which was donated by Capt. Benajah Bushnell nearly one
hundred and sixty years ago. The churchyard is preserved, but
the head and foot stones which formerly indicated the graves of
departed members were long since removed and placed in the cellar
of the church, where they are cemented into the walls and flooring.
This underground room is dark and gloomy, and searchers have
difficulty in deciphering the inscriptions, all of which are here repro-
duced.

1. Ephraim1 Darwin was admitted a planter at Guilford, Dec. 11,
1672, and had his portion of land out of the third division, according to
his list of estate. He had probably been in Guilford for several years.
The rocks at the head of Fair Street, Guilford, were long called Ephraim's
rocks, after him. He married first, June 10, 1678, Elizabeth, daughter of
Richard Goodrich ; and married second, Rachel . He died in Sept.,
1725. The name was sometimes spelled Durren. His list in 1716 was £29.

MR. PATRICK FALCONER OF NEWARK, N. J., AND
HIS DESCENDANTS.
Compiled by Hon. Ralph D. Smyth and communicated by Dr. Bernard C. Steiner.
1. Patrick1 Falconer came to America, probably from Scotland,
about 1684. He is said, in his epitaph written by his friend the Rev. Abra-
ham Pierson, Jr., to have " suffered much for Christ," but when and where
does not appear. It has been conjectured, however, that it was in Scot-
land, during the religious difficulties of that period.
In " The Model of Government of the province of East New Jersey in
America and encouragement of such as design to be concerned there,"
published in Edinburg in 1685, reprinted in Whitehead's "East Jersey,"
is a letter from Patrick Faulkner to Maurice Trent, dated " Elizabeth
Town, East Jersey, 28th October, 1684." This is among "letters to dif-
ferent individuals in Europe (Scotland) from sundry individuals in Amer-
ica." The letter was written shortly after his arrival, and praises the
country highly. He also speaks of having travelled through Maryland
and Pennsylvania. Where Mr. Falconer spent the three or four interme-
diate years after the date of this letter does not appear. In 1 688, Pat-
rick Falconer, then of Woodbridge, was administrator of Robert Adam.
The next year, 1689, he was at New Haven, where he married Hannah,
daughter of Governor William Jones and grand-daughter of Governor
Eaton. They were both about 30 years of age at that time.
Patrick Falconer could not have remained long at New Haven, for
June 20, 1690, he was at Newark, New Jersey, administrator on the estate
of Samuel Kitchel, who left a will dated Feb. 11, 1683, but whose wife
Grace, named as executrix, had died before him ; and he appears as a
witness to the will of David Ogden, Dec. 26, 1691, but when the will was
proved, Feb. 27, 1691-2, "Patrick Falconer being deceased," the other
witness testified alone. He was called '• merchant." On his gravestone
in the old burying-ground is this inscription : " Here lyeth the body of
Patrick Falconer, who died January 27th, 1691/2, aged 33 years." In
his will, recorded in Trenton, New Jersey, he provided that his daughter,
22 Descendants of Patrick Falconer. [Jan.
Hannah, be maintained till she arrive at the age of eighteen, and then that
she should have fifty pounds in money ; his wife, Hannah, was to enjoy the
whole estate in any part of Europe, New England, New Jersey, or else-
where, and to be sole executrix with power to sell, etc. ; his honored father
Wm. Jones, and his loving brother John Jones to be overseers, and his
" brother James Falconer to be the overseer to take care to preserve what
I have in Europe for my wife and child," also James Emmett to be over-
seer to assist in settling accounts in New York, Long Island, New Jersey,
or elsewhere west of the Hudson River.
Sometime subsequent to Patrick Falconer's death, a John Falconer of
London gave a power of attorney to David Falconer to act and do for him
in East Jersey as a proprietor, but there is no evidence that either of these
, were relatives of Patrick.
It appears that Mrs. Hannah Falconer sold her interest in her husband's
property and returned to New Haven, where she was in 1695. Subse-
quently she married James Clark of Stratford, and removed to that place.
Children :
i. Hannah,2 b. 1G90, probably at Newark ; m. Aug. 2, 1710, Dea. Seth
Morse of Dedham, and had Ruth, who m. Samuel Lee.
2. ii. Patkick, b. Aug. 12, 1G92. at New Haven (posthumous) ; d. July,
1735. He lived at Guilford, where he was listed for £21 and a
horse, in 1716.

2. Patrick2 Falconer, Jr. {Patrick1) married, in 1722, Deliverance,
daughter of Thomas Cooke, Jr. Prior to July, 1737, she married
second, Hill, and died Feb. 12, 1781.

He married first, Jan. 6, 1760, Hannah Morse, who died Apr. 30,
1765 ; and married second, Mch. 4, 1767, Mary Bly of Middletown,

PASSENGER LISTS TO AMERICA.
Communicated by Gerald Fotheegill, Esq., of New Wandsworth, London,
England.
It was formerly the duty of an official to keep a strict account of all
persons leaving the shores of England or Ireland, and this was no doubt
at all times carried out in a more or less perfect way.
As regards England, these were all burnt by a fire at the Custom House,
London. In some few cases, however, duplicates had been made for various
official reasons, and these were printed, so far as then discovered, by
Hotten.*
In making researches among the British Archives, I have discovered
others. One series of these has been printed and is called a " List of Emi-
grant Ministers to America." Others I hope to print from time to time
in the pages of the Register.
The following are lists of passengers who left Ireland between the years
1805-1806, and contained in a British Museum Manuscript numbered
Add. 35932.
The following is an example of a list, affidavit and certificate, showing
that some trouble was taken in making the records :
Thomas Ryan Patrick Ryan
John Cronnan Mich1 Enright
John Daly Pat Hennesy
Edward Kellerman maketh oath that the above is a true list aud descrip-
tion of the passengers engaged to go in the Ship Numa to America, and
that not any of them is or are atrificers, artisans, manufacturer-, seamen
or seafaring men, and that he will not take any other passengers but those
expressed in the above list, and that this list is a duplicate of the original
one transmitted to the Lord Lieutenant and Council save aud except six
of the passengers mentioned therein who are not to proceed.
Sworn before the Custom House. 1 Ediv'1 Kelleran.

I certify that I have personally examined the Men in the above List
and that to the best of my knowledge I do believe they are of the occupa-
tion above discribed. Limerick, 3 Ap1., 1803.

STEPHEN BURTON OF BRISTOL, R.I., AND SOME OF
HIS DESCENDANTS.
By Miss Susan A. Smith, of Dorchester, Mass.
1. Stephen1 Burton, although spoken of as a wealthy and highly edu-
cated man, always holding prominent office, and active in the public in-
terest, has left very little of himself upon record. Savage says he was
" probably son of Thomas." In Mr. Waters's " Gleanings." Vol. 1, page
319, is the will of Margaret Prescott of the Parish of St. Thomas the
Apostle, London, widow, dated Nov. 1, 1639, proved Jan. 3, 1639-40, in
which she mentions her " son-in-law Stephen Burton and my daughter
Martha his wife," but no connection between this Stephen and the Thomas
named by Savage, or the Stephen of this article, has been proved.
The first evidence found of the presence of Stephen1 iu Boston was in
1670, when he was witness to a deed. In 1673, John Cranston, of New-
port, R. I., sold land in Boston, bequeathed to him by the will of William
Brenton of Rhode Island, to " Stephen Burton of London Junior, mer-
chant, now resident of New England," and from that time, for over ten
years, he had interests in Boston.
1906.] Stephen Burton of Bristol, R. I. 29
In 1680, Stephen Burton joiued with " John Walley, Nathaniel Byfield
and Nathaniel Oliver, men of large estate," in the purchase, from Plymouth
Colony, of Mount Hope, the seat of the Great Sachem, Phillip, which has
been called the " reward " to the Colony for the memorable conquest, but
evidently he did not immediately take up his residence at Mount Hope, for
in 1681 he was constable at Boston.
Oct. 28, 1681, at the sitting of Plymouth Colony Court, at the request
of the four purchasers of Mount Hope, it was granted that it should be a
town, to be called " Bristoll," and the first " Recorder " of the new town-
ship was Stephen Burton. Any one who examines the first book of Deeds
at Taunton, kept by him as Recorder,* cannot fail to notice the beautiful
handwriting and the scholarly elegance of its arrangement.
In 1689, "Lieut." Burton was one of the selectmen "to wait on
court," and he was also one of the Town Council " to join with the Com-
mission officers by way of ordering concerns in exegencies relating to mili-
tia affairs." He was one of the first Deputies from Bristol to the General
Court, and served five times, 1685, '86, '89, '90, and '92.
In 1690 he was appointed by Plymouth Court to look after the "reve-
nues and Customs " of Bristol County, and " to give despatches to vessels
and see that Acts of Navigation be observed and render account," but in
1692 complaint was made that Stephen Burton neglected his duties, be-
cause of "head trouble," and his death is recorded July 22, 1693. It is
said that he resided on Burton Street in Bristol, and that the house was
destroyed by the British in 1777.
He married first, Abigail, daughter of Gov. William and Martha Bren-
ton of Rhode Island, who died at Bristol in 1684; and married second,
Sept. 4, 1684, Elizabeth, only daughter of Gov. Josiah and Penelope
(Pelham) Winslow, who died at Pembroke, Mass., July 11, 1735, and
whose grave-stone is in an excellent state of preservation.
Children by first wife, born in Boston :
i. Stephen,2 b. Aug. 8, 1677.
ii. A daughter, b. Oct. 16, 1680.
Children by second wife, born in Bristol :
iii. Penelope, b. Aug. 8, 1686.
2. iv. Thomas, b. Mar. 16, 1692-3.
v. Elizabeth, who never married, and of whom marvellous stories are
told of the elegance of her personal belongings, one tradition be-
ing that she had a " quart measure of jewels," and many magnifi-
cent dresses. An elegant dower-chest stood in the Burton house at
Pembroke as late as 1810, when it was sold.
2. Thomas2 Burton (Stephen1) settled in Pembroke, Mass., where he
was town clerk and schoolmaster many years.
In Middlesex Co. Deeds, Vol. 28, fol. 229, is a transfer dated
Aug. 6, 1728, of " Thomas Burton and Elizabeth Junior of Plymouth
County," to " Nathaniel Cotton of Bristol County Clerk " of a
tract of land at " Natticut " on the Merrimac River, being " three
fourths of one sixteenth of ten thousand acres, derived from our
honored father Stephen Burton deceased," who purchased it from
"Mr. John Cranston of Neport R. I., who had it from William
Brenton Esq., as see his last will and testament." In this document
*The office of Recorder at that time included "Clerk of the Peace," "Clerk of
Common Pleas," and the duties now performed by the Registers of Deeds and of
Probate.

both Elizabeth the widow of Stephen,1 and Alice the wife of
Thomas,2 resign dower.
In 1730 it was voted in Duxbury that Thomas Burton should
keep their school, provided " he shall tarry in said town and not
remove out of it " ; but about that time he purchased a large estate
in Center Pembroke, where he ever after lived. His family Bible
is now in possession of Mrs. Henry Bosworth of Pembroke, whose
husband is a descendant.
Thomas2 married, May 10, 1722, Alice, born Apr. 15, 1C97,
daughter of Elisha and Elizabeth (Wiswell) Wadsworth. He died
Octf22, 1779, aged 87 years, and she died June 9, 1791, aged 95

A DORCHESTER RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF YOUXG
MEN.
Communicated by Albert Matthews, A.B., of Boston.
Ox December 25, 1698, there was formed at Dorchester a " Society of
Young Men mutually joining together in the Service of God." The So-
ciety apparently had no distinctive name, and, though it seems to have ex-
isted for a century and a half, there appear to be no allusions to it in the
histories of Dorchester. There are, however, three sources of information
in regard to the Society. In 1779 there was printed at Boston, " Early
Piety recommended. A Sermon, Preached Lord's-day Evening, February
1st, 1778, to Two Religious Societies of Young Men in Dorchester. By
Moses Everett, A.M., Pastor of .the Church in that Place. Published at
the Request of the Societies and others." In the course of this sermon
Mr. Everett says :
It is a happy consideration, that amidst all the degeneracy of the times, the
ancient religious Societies of young Men, are upheld among us. That there are
still so many who are williug to own a regard for the interests of religion,
while it is so generally disregarded and contemned by the youth. Such socie-
ties, are indeed worthy a particular share iu the affection of all good men.
. . . They are honorable. . . . They are greatly ornamental to reli-
gion . . . and tend much to the advancement of its dignity and interests
(p. 24).
These words are of too general a nature to be of much value, and the
fact, as stated on the title-page, that this sermon was preached to two so-
cieties, rather intensifies than clears up our ignorance. But in 1799 there
was printed at Charlestown "A Discourse, Addressed to the Religious So-
1906.] A Dorchester Religious Society. 31
ciety of Young Men in Dorchester, on the Termination of One Hundred
Years from the Time of its Establishment. By the Rev. Thaddeus Mason
Harris." The Introduction to this discourse is as follows :
QN December 25, 1698, a number of young persons, actuated by a love for re-
ligion, and a desire to assist and promote each other's advancement in the
offices of piety, agreed upon ' a private weekly meeting, for religious exercise,
and the good improvement of the evening of the lord's day.'
About eleven years after, as the members had become numerous, and it was
inconvenient to assemble in one place, it was deemed advisable to divide ; and
one branch of the society continued to meet in the south part of the town, and
the other in the north.
The society is composed of serious and well disposed youths, who continue
members till they form family connections, or leave the town. There is no
recollection of a single instance of the expulsion of an individual for ill conduct,
or of any one having desired to leave the society from dislike. The utmost
harmony and fraternal affection have prevailed in their meetings: and the insti-
tution has been promotive of the happiest effects in encouraging and assisting
youthful piety and practical godliness.
That a society constituted of persons whose dispositions and principles are
apt to be mutable, and easily affected and estrauged by the dissipations of early
life, should have been zealously supported through a whole century, is a circum-
stance which must forcibly excite our admiration. On the termination of this
period, the young men of "the elder branch of the society requested that a dis-
course might be delivered to them in public, to commemorate the establishment
of the Institution, and to further its views. In compliance with this request
the following was written and delivered, and to gratify the society it is now
published (pp. 3, 4).*
Our third source of information is a manuscript written on parchment
now owned by Mr. Charles J. Means of Boston, a son of the late Rev.
James H. Means of Dorchester — the successor of the Rev. John Codman.
This parchment, which could not have been written earlier than 1707,
contains the Articles agreed upon December 25, 1698, and the names of
about three hundred and fifty members, many of them autograph signa-
tures.! It is printed at the end of this paper.
But while our knowledge of this particular Society is meagre, it may
not be without interest to give an outline of the causes which led to its
inception, especially as this will show that other similar societies existed
in this neighborhood early in the eighteenth century. The scandals, both
public and private, which characterized the reigns of Charles II. and
James II. were a cause of shame to many Englishmen, and became so no-
torious that a reaction set in after the Revolution. In 1895 Miss Mary
Bateman wrote :
In the reign of William and Mary the rise of a number of voluntary associa-
tions, with moral, religious, or philanthropic aims, expressed the widespread
desire for social reform. It is true that in 1GS9, as in 1642, social reform was
not made a party cry; but the cordial reception given to the Priuce of Orange,
especially in the city of London, was partly due to the belief that the social
disorders of the last two reigns would be suppressed. The city authorities
* In an Appendix (pp. 19-24), Mr. Harris says that "An account of the societies of
young men in England, with rules and directions for their use, may be found in Bax-
ter's Practical Works, Vol. iv ; " quotes some rules for such a society from .4 Help to
National Reformation ; and gives some extracts from " a little book, published about
the beginning of the present centurj-, entitled ' Private meetings animated and regu-
lated,' . . . which may serve to shew the original plan and design of such institu-
tions." The last I have not seen. My attention was called by Mr. William P. Green-
law to the two sermons quoted in the text. Copies of both, owned by the Dorchester
Antiquarian and Historical Society, are deposited in the library of the Xew England
Historic Genealogical Society, and are bound in Volume viii of a series labelled " His-
torical Discourses, Dorchester."

Henry H. Edes, for aid in deciphering some of the names on the parchment.

combined with their Whiggism the Puritan horror of profanation of the Sab-
bath, cursing and drunkenness, and they knew that they had William's sympa-
thy in these matters. The first sign of a change in the policy of the Govern-
ment was given in a letter sent by William to the bishops, 1089, ordering them
publicly to preach against the keeping of courtezans, swearing, etc., and to put
the ecclesiastical laws in execution without any indulgence. The next was
given in a letter of Mary, written in the absence of the king, to the Justices of
the Peace in Middlesex, July 9th, 1C91, which recommended the execution of
the laws "against profaning the Lord's Day, drunkenness, profane swearing
and cursing, and all other lewd, enormous, and disorderly practices" which
had universally spread themselves by the neglect and connivance of the magis-
trates. Any officer of justice guilty of these offences or negligent in punishing
them was to be punished himself as an example.
On the whole, however, it was not through Court influence that progress was
made in the reform of manners. It was from the people, not from the Govern-
ment, that the movement of social reform came. The work which Cromwell
had given to his major-generals was now taken up by voluntary associations.
The title " Society for the Reformation of Manners "was first used in 1C92,»
when five or six private gentlemen of the Church of England, with the help of
the Queen, banded themselves together to inform against all persons who broke
the penal laws. To prevent the charge of covetousness, the societies paid over
the fines to charities, and took a subscription from their members to pay the
expenses of prosecutions. In 1698 the societies received a stimulus from a
proclamation against vice and impiety in all classes issued by William III. The
spread of vice was ascribed to the magistrates' neglect to enforce the laws, and
the judges of assize and justices of the peace were ordered to read the procla-
mation before giving the charge, and all ministers of religion were to read it
four times a year after divine service. t
* For this statement. Miss Bateman refers to Coke's Detection (iii.66) and Wilson's
De Foe (i. 279). But neither Coke nor Wilson says that the title was used in 1692-:
merely that the Societies arose in or about that year. The earliest use of that exact
title I have found is in a pamphlet called Proposals for a Xational Reformation of
Manners, Humbly offered to the Consideration of our Magistrates <Sr Clergy. To tchich is
added, I. The Instrument for Reformation. II. An Account of several Murders, ire. and
particularly A Bloody Slaughter-House discover'd in Rosemary-lane, by some of the So-
ciety for Reformation, . . . As also The Black Roll, Containing the Xames and
Crimes of several hundred Persons, urho hate been prosecuted by the Society, London,
1694. This was licensed February 12, 1693-4, and was " Published by the Society for
Reformation." To the sermons preached before the Societies, there was frequently
added an "Account [for the preceding year] of the Progress made in the Cities of
London and Wesminster, and Places adjacent, by the Societies for Promoting Refor-
mation of Manners." The first of these accounts was the " Black Roll " printed in the
above pamphlet of 1692. Later they appeared as broadsides under the title of Black List,
and in the British Museum are copies of the Sixth (1701), the Eighth (1703), the Tenth
(1705), the Thirteenth (1708), the Fourteenth (1709), and the Fifteenth (1710). From
them it seems probable that the Societies were officially organized in 1694, and pre-
sumably their title dates from that year.
The earliest allusion I have found to the originators of the Societies is in a pamphlet
entitled A Vindication of an Undertaking of Certain Gentlemen, In Order to the Sup-
pressing of Debauchery and Prof oneness, printed in London in 1692, of which there is
a copy in the Boston Athenaeum. Though published anonymously, it was written by
Edward Fowler, Bishop of Gloucester, who says :
" But to come to the Business of these Papers : Certain pious Gentlemen, all of the
Church of England, laying greatly to heart these things, resolved to make Trval,
whether any thing could be done towards giving a Check to Debavchery and Pko-
paxexess ; and joyntly agreed upon this following Method for the Reforming of Offen-
ders in those Tito most scandalous Instances, by due Course of Law" (p. 6).
The title later used is not found in this pamphlet, but in the Preface the author
asks : " But hoiv can Zeal for so good a thing as Reformation of our Manners, be ever Ill-
timed ? " (p. iv.) There are in the British Museum two copies of this pamphlet, one
with the title as given above, the other entitled A Vindication Of a Late Undertaking
of Certain Gentlemen, &c, London, 1692.

1906.] A Dorchester Religious Society. 33
Most of the societies organized late in the seventeenth century had for
their object the suppression of immoralities of various kinds and the prose-
cution of the offenders. After enumerating the duties of about a dozen
of these, the writer of a pamphlet published in London in 1699 goes on
to say :
Besides those above-mentioned, there are about Nine and Thirty Religious
Societies of another kind, in and about London and Westminster, which are
propagated into other Parts of the Nation; as Nottingham, Gloucester, &c, and
even into Ireland, where they have been for some Months since spreading in
divers Towns and Cities of that Kingdom; as Kilkenny, Drogheda, Monmouth,
&c. especially in Dublin, where there are about Ten of these Societies, which are
promoted by the Bishops, and inferior Clergy there. These Persons meet often
to Pray, Sing Ps-alms, and Read the Holy Scriptures together, and to Reprove,
Exhort, and Edifie one another by their Religious Conferences. They moreover
carry on at their Meetings, Designs of Charity, of different kinds; such as
Relieving the Wants of Poor House-keepers, maintaining their Children at School,
setting of Prisoners at Liberty, supporting of Lectures and daily Prayers in our
Churches. These are the SOCIETIES which our late Gracious Queen, as the
Learned Bishop that hath writ her LIFE tells us,* took so great Satisfaction in,
that She inquired often and much about them, and was glad they went on and
prevailed; which, thanks be to GOD, they continue to do; as the Reverend Mr.
Woodward, who hath obliged the World with a very particular Account of the
Mise and Progress of them, hath lately acquainted us.f And these likewise are
SOCIETIES that have proved so exceedingly Serviceaable in the Work of RE-
FORMATION, that they may be reckoned a chief Support to it, as our late Great
Primate Arch-Bishop Tillotson declar'd, upon several Occasions, after he had
* Gilbert Burnet's Essay on the Memory of the late Queen, published in 1695. There
is a copy in the Harvard College Library.
t The Rev. Josiah Woodward preached a sermon before the Societies on December
28, 1696. There is a copy in the Harvard College Library. In the Epistle Prefatory
we read :
" And therefore it cannot but be matter of great Joy to all good People to hear of your
successful Progress in this your pious Enterprize. What exalted Praises will they offer
to God, when they hear of your Order, Courage, and Unanimity in a Work of such abso-
lute Necessity ; and when they understand that Thousands have been brought by your
means to legal Punishment, for their abominable Enormities ; and that Multitudes of scan-
dalous Houses . . . have been suppress' d by you ; and that public Vice and Profane-
ness is manifestly check' d, and in a way to be rooted out by your exemplary Diligence,
Zeal, and Expence in this great Undertaking ? As it is more particularly related in an
Account of the Rise and Progress of the Religious Societies of Young Men, lately pub-
lished'" (pp. vii. viii).
The title of Woodward's pamphlet is, An Account of the Rise and Proqress of the
Religious Societies in the City of London, §c. And of the Endeavours for Reformation
of Manners Which have been made therein. No copy of the first edition is known to me,
but according to Arber's Term Catalogues (ii. 600) it was published in November, 1696,
under the title of An Earnest Admonition to All ; but especially to Young Persons, to
turn to God by speedy repentance and reformation. Being the substance of six Sermons.
. . . To which is added, An Account of the Rise and Progress of the Religious So-
cieties of Young Men, and of the Societies for Reformation. In the British Museum are
copies of the second (169S), the third (1701), and the fourth (1712) editions. The fol-
lowing extracts, pertinent to our subject, are taken from the second edition :
"IT is now about twenty years ago, that several young Men of the Church of Eng-
land, in the Cities of London and Westminster, were about the same time touch d with
a very affecting sense of their Sins, and began to apply themselves, in a very serious
manner, to Religious Thoughts and Purposes " (p. 31).
"INSOMUCH, that there are now near twenty Societies of various Qualities and Func-
tions, formed in a Subordination and Correspondency one with another, and engaged
in this Christian Design in and about this City and Suburbs : All which have their set
Hours and Places of meeting, to direct, support, and execute this their undertaking.
" IN this Number of Societies for Reformation here given, I do not include any of the
thirty two Religious Societies before mentioned. For tho they all agree in the love of
Virtue, and dislike of Vice, yet their first and more direct Design of Association seems
to be distinguish'd thus. In that the Societies for Reformation bent their utmost En-
deavours from the first to suppress publick Vice ; whilst the Religious Societies endeav-
our'd chiefly to promote Religion in their own Breasts, tho they have since been emi-
nently instrumental in the Publick Reformation " (pp. 83, 84).

examined their Orders, and inquired into their Lives, That he thought they were
to the Church of England.*
That a movement which met with such an impetus in England should
have extended its influence to the American colonies, is what one would
naturally expect. In a pamphlet published in London in 1705, we read :
A Reverend Divine, who hath been lately in onr Northern Plantation in Amer-
ica, by the Encouragement of divers of our Bishops, for the Propagation of
Christianity there, order'd a whole Impression of the Account of the Societies^
to be Printed off, and sent thither, for the promoting a Reformation, by these
Methods, in those Parts of the World. And this Reverend Person the last
Month told me, that he thinks they have since made a more remarkable Refor-
mation there, than in either of Her Majesty's Kingdoms-!
Some contemporary letters written by an unknown New Englander are
fortunately preserved. In the pamphlet which has just been cited will be
found the following extracts :
From New England we are told, That great Care hath been there taken of
late for the Punishment of Vice and Prophaneness by theMethods that are here
us'd; and a Gentleman in thatf Country, in his Letter bearing date April 10. 1702.
informs us, That several Societies are formed in Boston, and he thinks that in
a little time he shall acquaint us of others set up in other Parts of that
Country. §
A Gentleman in Xew-England, in a Letter dated October 8. 1704. writes to
his Correspondent in London in the following Words: The Societies lately
erected for the Service of Religion in London, and in some other Parts of Europe,
have by their laudable Example had an Influence upon a Country as far distant
from them as Xew-England in America. And we thought it might be some Satis-
faction to you and other good Men with you, to have a summary Account of the
Good which is daily doing among us, in Imitation of the Example that you have given
us. ire shall accordingly inform you, that a Number of Gentlemen xrho make the
best Figure in this Place, did a few Months ago establish a voluntary Conversa-
tion once in a Fortnight. The Gentlemen of the Society for Propagation of Re-
ligion have already had a sensible Blessing of God upon their Consultations and
Undertakings. They have sent into every Town of the Provinces Treatises to ani-
mate the Observation of the Lord's Day. They have conveyed unto such People
among our selves as frequently and prophanely absent themselves from the Publick
Worship of God, a Sheet of Considerations to reclaim them from that Prophanity.
They compiled and emitted an Abstract of Laws against all punishable Wicked-
ness, and armed the Officers- in the several Parts of the Province therewithal. They
are now endeavouring to introduce more Religion into our Sea-faring Tribe, and
Season our Vessels with better Orders than have been generally practised. Tliese
are but some of the good Tilings ichich they have done in a very little while. We

Athenaeum and in the Harvard College Library. In a sermon preached before the
Societies on June 27, 1698, the Rev. Thomas Jekill referred in the Epistle Dedicatory

shall supersede the mention of the rest, with one comprehensive Service they pro-
duced in Boston, our chief Town, a Society for the Suppression of Disorders;
many good Offices have been done for the Town in a little while by that Society ;
they Printed a Sheet of Methods and Motives for such Societies; the Sheet they
scattered throughout these Colonies. In many Toicns they have erected such Socie-
ties, and conformed unto the Advice that have been set before them. In these Towns
the Ministers and the Societies, with which they have accomodated themselves, to be
admirable Engines for the maintaining and promoting all good Order among their
People. We receive Letters from divers Quarters wherein they do even with some
Rapture give Thanks to God for the Advantage they have already received by these
Societies. They generally carry on their Design with Prudence and Silence, and
great Modesty, but with wondrous Efficacy. We confess we owe unto you the Rela-
tion, because we are beholding to you for the Example that hath been followed in
our feeble Essays to do ichat we can for the Advancement of the Greatest Interest.
May the God of all Grace prosper all your and our Essays thus to do what Good
we can.*
In another pamphlet, published in London in 1706, we get a few more
letters written by the same person. Some extracts follow.
A Reverend Divine of New-England in his Letter dated from Boston the 23d
of November 1705, says thus : Sir, It was but Yesterday that your letter to our
worthy Friend Mr. arrived; however, we were not willing to miss this Op-
portunity of returning you our hearty Thanks for your grateful Communications,
and of letting you know, that we take every Opportunity of returning greatest
Thanks to the God of Heaven, for disposing and assisting so many {as we perceive
by your Letters) unto such noble Methods of being Serviceable.
And because you may expect something of that also, we will go on where we left
off in the Account we formerly gave you of our Proceedings in those best Intentions,
the Reformation of Manners, and the Propagating of Christian Knowledge and
Goodness.
Our Societies for the suppression of Disorders, increase andprosper in this Town ;
there are two more such Societies added unto the former ; There are also Religious
Societies without Number in this Country that meet at proper Times, to pray to-
gether, and repeat Sermons, and forward one another in the Fear of God.
In some Towns of this Country, the Ministers icho furnish themselves with a
Society for the Suppression of Disorders, hardly find any notorious Disorders to be
suppressed: but then their Societies arc helpful unto them in doing abundance of
Good for the Advancement of serious Religion in the Neighbourhood, and to make
their Ministry much more Profitable in the Weekly Exercise ofit.f
Lastly, a Gentleman writes from Neio-England, in his Letter of the 20th of
November 1705. lo gralifie your Desires to know what Progress ice make here
in our Societies, I make bold to add a Line or two lo certify. That in Boston the
Societies for suppressing Disorders (of which mention was made in my former Let-
ters) are upheld, and two other Societies of the same Nature erected. ' All which
are spirited to be active, according to their Abilities and Influence, to promote Vir-
tue, and discountenance and suppress Vice. And not only in Boston are such
good Tilings done, and doing, but in many Places in the Province besides. Omit-
ting many other things that might be enumerated as to other Places, 1 shall sum
up in short, an Account of what hath been done in a Town called Taunton, through
the rich Mercy of God: The Reverend Mr. ,% Minister there, having seen
some Printed Accounts of the Methods for Reformation in Old England, in imita-
tion thereof (after earnest Prayers to God for Success) obtained of several Inhabi-
tants of the Place (that were noted for Sobriety anA Zeal against Sin) to meet with
him once in each Month, to consult what might be done to promote a Reformation
of Disorders there. And after a Day improved in Fasting and Prayer together,

they first attempted to reduce the Heads of Families to set up Family Worship;
and God gave them great Success; So that most of the Families in the large Towns
hearkened to their Exhortations and Reproofs ; and set upon the Practice of Family
Prayer Morning and Evening; every day having heard and read some Accounts of
the Religious Societies of Young Men in London, they were encouraged to endeavour
the like among them. And beyond their Expectation (God working with them)
prevailed with the greatest part of the Youth to form themselves into Societies for
Religious Exercises, signing some good Rules to be observed by thfm therein, much
like the Orders of the Societies of the Young Men in London, The good Effect
whereof was the putting an End to and utter Banishment of their former disorderly
and profane Meetings to Drink, &c. and to the great Grief of Godly Minds.
There is also something done in the Town (and in some others) towards the
founding of a School, by getting Lands granted and laid out by the Inhabitants
for the particular Design of upholding a School. And whereas some Prints from
Old-England certify us, That the Inferior Clergy are advised to meet together often,
and consult how to promote Reformation.* In like manner some Essays are
made, that Neighbouring Ministers in this Province might uphold some slated
Meetings, to consider of what they may do for the same End.
Now, Sir, our Imitation of the pious Zeal of godly Men in Old-England, is a
sufficient Testimony of our Approbation of what is doing there. And blessed be
God that there is a great Number in this Province, who daily pray to God for the
Prosperity of Old-England : And especially that Religion in the Power and Life
of it may Flourish there.]
These letters and extracts give us an interesting glimpse into the moral
and social life of New England two centuries ago. For half a century or
more the English Societies continued their activities.^: How long the
movement lasted in New England is not known to the present writer, and
it is hoped that the facts now given will lead to further discoveries in the
same direction. In 1895 the Rev. Francis E. Clark wrote:
But the most remarkable example of Endeavorers before the Endeavor Society
is found in a short-lived movement which began nearly two centuries ago in
the churches of Massachusetts^
Mr. Clark then goes on to describe and to quote from a pamphlet printed
by Cotton Mather at Boston in 1724 and entitled, "Religious Societies.
Proposals For the Revival of Dying Religion, By "Well-Ordered Societies
For that Purpose. "With a brief Discourse, Offered unto a Religious So-
ciety, on the First Day of their Meeting." Mather makes a passing
allusion to the societies which have been considered in this paper, but does

J Some of those who preached to the Societies were Dissenters, but most of them
■were of the Church of England. The sermons were at first quarterly, but later became
annual. The libraries of Boston and Cambridge contain the following sermons :
Josiah Woodward (1696), Lilly Butler (1697), John Woodhouse (1697), John Russell
(1697), Samuel Bradford (1697"), Samuel Wesley (1698), William Haylev (1698), Edward
Fowler (1699), Gilbert Burnet (1700), St. George Ashe (1717), Edward Gibson (1724),
Edward Chandler (1725), Thomas Green (1727), Richard Smalbroke (1728), Thomas
Leavesley (1730), Francis Hare (1731), James Knight (1733), Arthur Bedford (1734),
Edward Cobden (1736), Samuel Smith (1739). The British Museum contains some of
the above sermons and also the following: William Bisset (1704). Samuel Wright
(1715), John Leng (1718), Moses Lowman ( 1720), William Butler (1722). John Wynne
(1726), Robert Drew (1735), Samuel Say (1736), William Simpson (1738), Samuel
Chandler (1738). There is also in the British Museum A Sermon Preached before the
Former Societies for Reformation of Manners : To tchich is added, An Abridgment of the

relating to the Societies will be found in the British Museum.

not add to our information. The societies to which attention has been
called existed a quarter of a century or so before the appearance of Ma-
ther's 'pamphlet, and it is clear that the evolution of the Christian Endeavor
Society is to be traced to them rather than to Mather's pamphlet.
The document mentioned at the beginning of this paper follows.

1906.] Andrew i\T. Adams. 45
ANDREW N. ADAMS.
By Erastus Hibbard Phelps, Esq., of Fair Haven, Vt.
Andrew N. Adams was born in Fair Haven, Vermont, January
6, 1830, and died in his native town, March 13, 1905. He was
the son of Joseph and Stella (Miller) Adams. The ancestors of
his father, who was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire, Feb.
14, 1802, were Scotch, and came to this country from the north of
Ireland with the Scotch-Irish Colony that settled in Londonderry
in 1721. Although called Scotch-Irish because they came from
Ireland, these early settlers of Londonderry were of Scotch lineage
pure and simple, and being rigid Protestants of the Presbyterian
faith they "tolerated no mixture with the Celts, and disliked being
called Irish.
The parents of Joseph Adams immigrated to Whitehall, New
York, in 1806, and in 1823 he married Stella, daughter of Capt.
William and Paulina (Phelps) Miller. Capt. Miller was a native
of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and settled in Hampton in 1786, where
he reared a large family of children, the eldest being the Rev. Wil-
liam Miller, widely known as a student of prophesy, and founder
of the sect known as Second Adventists.
The subject of this sketch was the fourth child of Joseph Adams
and Stella Miller. His preparatory school training was obtained in
the common schools of Fair Haven, and at the Green Mountain
Liberal Institute, South Woodstock, Vermont. Later, he was a
student at the Theological Seminary at Meadville, Pennsylvania,
graduating, however, at the Harvard Divinity School in 1855, in
the same class with George Hughes Hep worth.
Immediately after his graduation, on August 1, 1855, he was
married to Angie Margaret Phelps, of Orwell, Vermont, and at
once entered upon his chosen profession, becoming pastor of the
First Parish Church in Needham, Massachusetts, where he was
ordained Nov. 21, 1855. In 1857 he removed to Franklin, Massa-
chusetts, and became pastor of the First Universalist Church of
that place, where he remained until the summer of 1860, when he
resigned, and returned to Fair Haven, Vermont, to assist his father
in a rapidly growing mercantile business. In 1869 he engaged, in
company with his father and brother-in-law, David B. Colton, in
sawing and manufacturing marble, and in this business he was inter-
ested at Fair Haven, and afterward at Belden's, Vermont, until a
few years before his death.
He was always deeply interested in the welfare of his native
town, and was at times justice of the peace and town treasurer, was
an active member of the school board for many years, was principal
director of the public library, was for twenty-five years trustee of
46 Andrew iV. Adams. [Jan.
the Rutland County Grammar School, at Castleton, Vermont, and
at the time of his death was president of the board of trustees.
At the death of his father, he was made a director in the First
National Bank of Fair Haven, which position he resigned a few
years before his death.
In 1884-5 he represented his town in the State Legislature, and
in 1888-9 he was a member of the State Senate, and occupied a
very prominent position as a member of the joint committee on ed-
. ucation. In 1870 he wrote and published a History of Fair Haven,
a book of 516 pages, which is a most exhaustive history of the
town from its settlement. He was for a number of years a con-
tributing member of the Rutland County Historical Society — in
fact it may be said that he was the leading spirit of that body.
Although for many years engaged in active business, Mr. Adams
was by nature a student and a man of letters. In the latter part of
his life he was deeply interested in genealogical subjects, and devo-
ted years of study and labor to a history of the Adams family.
He first published, in 1894, a history of the descendants of James
and William Adams of Londonderry (now Derry), New Hampshire.
This included his own immediate branch of the Adams family. In
1898 he published a genealogical history of Henry Adams of
Braintree, and John Adams of Cambridge, Massachusetts, a book
of over 1200 pages with numerous illustrations. This book was
the result of a great amount of patient, persistent and painstaking
work, and the author in his preface says it Avas " undertaken at first
in intervals of leisure for the sake of the knowledge to be derived,
and prosecuted later in order that others might have the benefit of
the compilation, in a succinct and accessible form, of valuable rec-
ords and material drawn from many and widely scattered sources."
This was followed, in 1900, with a history of Robert Adams of
Newbury, Massachusetts, and his descendants, a book of 560 pages.
At the beginning of this volume, in his address "To the Reader,"
the author speaks of other branches of the Adams family, notably
"William of Ipswich," "John of Plymouth," "George of Water-
town," as well as several other first-comers in Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire. The author announces
that he has compiled extensive lists of all these families, which
could be published for the benefit of others if there were sufficient
interest among the living descendants to warrant the labor and
expense.
Sufficient encouragement having been given, in November, 1904,
Mr. Adams issued an announcement " To the Descendants of Wil-
liam Adams, a first settler in Ipswich, Mass.," that the collation of
the genealogical records of this great branch of the Adams family
in America was approaching completion, and would be published
early in the ensuing spring or summer. It was estimated that the
material in hand would make a book of 600 pages.
1906.] Andrew i\T. Adams. 47
Mr. Adams did not live to see the book published, but he left a
voluminous mass of material relating to the subject, which has been
given to the New England Historic Genealogical Society, where
it will be preserved and can be consulted. He was elected a mem-
ber of the Society in 1895.
Besides his historical and genealogical works, Mr. Adams was
the author of numerous essays and addresses on educational and
kindred subjects. He was deeply interested in scientific subjects,
especially in geology, and among his published papers was one
of exceeding interest on " The Geology of Vermont as developed
along the Western border in the oldest fossilifirous rocks of the
Continent."
His death is a serious loss to his family and the town in which he
had resided so many years, and in whose interests he was always so
deeply concerned. His widow and three married daughters survive
him. The daughters are: Alice A., wife of Horace B. Ellis of
Castleton, Vermont; Annie E., wife of George B. Jermyn of
Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Stella M., wife of John T. Powell of
Fair Haven, Vermont.
His large and valuable library has been presented to the town of
Fair Haven, and will occupy a separate department in the Carnegie
library building which is about to be erected.
Mr. Adams was, withal, a man of rare qualities of mind and
heart, a man of refined and cultivated tastes, of broad and liberal
views, a thoroughly honest and progressive citizen, a true and loyal
friend.
From the great number of letters of sympathy received by the
family from friends and acquaintances scattered throughout the
whole country, the following extracts furnish ample evidence of the
high esteem in which he was held even by those who were not
fully in accord with his peculiar views. A prominent Congrega-
tional clergyman writes : " I was always drawn to Mr. Adams, not
on account of kindred beliefs, but our spirits seemed to be kindred.
If we could not agree in our conclusions we could, and I think did,
agree in our desire to know the truth and conform our lives to its
behests. I suppose that when we stand within the glory of the
heavenly light, we shall find that the earthly views of all of us were
inadequate, and perhaps in large part mistaken ; and that they
served their ends only by furnishing us hints and clues to the re-
ality which is greater and more glorious than we can now conceive."
Another letter from a lawyer, many years younger than Mr. Adams,
says : "I always had great admiration for his character and intelli-
gence. I don't think any one man has exerted greater influence on
myself than Andrew N. Adams. He said to me once, several years
ago, that whether or not he should have a personal, individual ex-
istence after this life he had no satisfactory evidence ; but that it
did not trouble him, for he knew he should continue to live after

death in the influence and example of his life, ^— that that was the
best part of man, and that could not die. So that while he could
not say that he believed in the life everlasting as expressed in the
creed, using those words as commonly understood, he did believe
that what we love most in the life of our friends is everlasting ; and
his hope was that his influence and example might be such that he
could wish it to continue forever. It seems to me that these words
were an expression of the character of the man." Another clergy-
man, whose religious belief was in sympathy with that of Mr.
Adams, writes : " His was truly a long, honorable and useful ca-
reer, — not alone to his family and friends, but to the world. The
principles of independent religious thought that he so faithfully
lived and taught have helped to leaven the liberal thought of the
world. A man so intellectually aggressive is not circumscribed in
his influence by the 'pent up Utica' of town or state. But, alas,
the dearest of earthly ties must be broken ! Nothing earthly is per-
manent. Spirit, — spirit divine, spirit only is substantial, immortal.
This is our comfort, that the reality, the divine essence within us
that constitutes selfhood, cannot, like the body, die."
THOMAS TREADWELL OF IPSWICH, MASS., AND
SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS.*

Mass., where his proportion of land on the Neck (sometimes called Lud-
• The author is indebted to Prof. George A. Treadwell of New York City for liberal
assistance, and to Mrs. George H. Treadwell (Connecticut branch) and Mr. Smith R.
Treadwell of Baltimore, Md., for much valuable data.
If sufficient encouragement be given, an extended genealogy will be published in
book form, containing an account of all the descendants of Thomas and Edward
Treadwell down to about 1900, the lines of daughters, where they have married, being
carried one generation. In such a work it is proposed to present a great deal of col-
lateral matter not here given, such as biography, copies of documents, including
photographic copies of the original wills of Thomas Treadwell and his wife, fac-similes
of early signatures, together with references and authorities, and exhaustive indices.
The material for this is now well in hand.
t The earliest mention in this country of the name Tre(a)dwell found by the au-
thor is that of Thomas, in the records of Dorchester, Mass., under date of 18 Mar., 1637.
Felt, however, in his History of Ipswich, Essex, and Hamilton, Mass., page 12, men-
tions a Mr. Treadwell as a settler in Ipswich, in 1635; but that Mr. Treadwell was
probably no other than this Thomas. Neither Savage nor Pope refers to any other
Treadwell for the year 1635.
Both Felt and Savage mention a John Treadwell in Ipswich in 1638 ; but Pope omits
him, and the author has never been able to find the original record upon which to base
such a claim. In 1637, an Edward Treadwell first appears in this country on the Ips-
wich records. Later, he settled on Long Island, New York, where he died, leaving
two sons from whom have sprung the Connecticut and Long Island Tre(a)dwells, a
very numerous and widely scattered family. The aforesaid Thomas and Edward were
probably brothers; but no other evidence for this statement has been discovered than
this contemporaneous residence in Ipswich.
In Hotten's "Original Lists" we find that on 28 July, 1635, Thomas Tredwell, a
smith, Mary Tredwell, each aged 30 years, and Thomas Tredwell, aged one year, em-
barked from London in the Hopewell, with certificate from the minister of St. Giles
Cripplegate, but an examination of the records at St. Giles Cripplegate, made in 1889
by Mr. Benjamin F. Treadwell, failed to disclose the Tre(a)dwell name.

low's Neck) was, 18 Mar., 1637, " 3 acres, 3 goods, 20 rodes," and of other
land, " 3 acres, 3 goods, 26 rodes " ; but prior to 23 Apr., 1638, he had
moved to Ipswich, Mass., on which date he sold his Dorchester holdings
(Boston Rec. Com. Report, No. 4, pp. 31, 34).
His wife was probably Mary Taylor, sister of Samuel Taylor who died
in Ipswich, in June, 1695.
In his will, Thomas1 Treadwell mentions " my sister Bachellor," and
the inventory of his estate refers to " Bro. Bacheller." The names of
Thomas1 Treadwell and his wife appear several times in the inventory of
the estate of Henry Bacheller who died in Ipswich, 3 Feb., 1678.
Theophilus Wilson in his will, 1690, mentions Nathaniel2 Treadwell as
his " cozzen ; " and John Giddings, in a deposition made in 1664, recites
a like relationship between Nathaniel2 Treadwell and Thomas Wilson.
Thomas1 Treadwell was admitted freeman, 7 Sept., 1638. Subsequently,
he served on several juries in Essex Co. He died in Ipswich, 8 June,
1671 (will dated 1 June, 1671, probated at Ipswich, 26 Sept., 1671, in
Essex Co. Probate, 28115), and his wife died in Ipswich, 1 Dec, 1685
(will dated, 28 Oct., 1682, probated at Ipswich, 20 Apr., 1686, in Essex
Co. Probate, 28102).

REMONSTRANCE AGAINST SETTLING A MINISTER AT
SOUTH HAMPTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Copied from the original paper by John French Johnson, Esq., of Amesbury, Mass.
Sept. 7. 1742,
To the Associated ministers of the neighboring Towns mett at
the new township of South Hampton, the following considirations are
offered as Reasons why a great number of Inhabitants now falling in sd'
town can not joyn with othere in their designs, and also why we think the
present affair of setling a Minister there should be deferred, viz : —
1st because the affair of the Line is yet under debate and we know not
whether we shall belong to sd' place, and that if we should expend for
this purpose, or bring ourselves under obligations it may be lost as to us
or Inswearing to ourselves & descendents.
2nd, That if we were dispossed yet the difficulty of attending here for
us and especially for here three quarters of the year is such that we see
no possibility of it.
3rd, That in case ever the line be established as now run we intend
God willing to accomidate ourselves better in a Meeting house & shall
endeavor all we can to be set oft for this end, and then as to the present
design of this dayi ntended by some we desent. first because the first
meeting that voted this obtained partly by chance & partly as we judge
'unfairly, second that this last meeting was not agreeable to a former vote
in this place with respect to the notifying meetings & not all as we under-
stand at all warned of this, third we have proposed some things which we
think Reasonable at present which have not been Regarded by them and
finally that if all within the bounds of sd' Town should appear at a legal
meeting and matters fairly tryed we are fully perswaded there is a majority
with us against them.

READING.*
By Oscak Fat Adams, Esq., of Boston.
The borough and market town of Reading cannot point with
certainty to the period of its origin. It was in existence when the
Danes came up the Kennet and made the spot their headquarters
in 871, but history does not go further back. In Domesday Book
it is mentioned as Radynges. From the thirteenth to the sixteenth
centuries parliaments were occasionally held here, and in the Civil
War it surrendered to the Parliament forces under Essex in 1643.
*The Massachusetts town, incorporated May 29, 1644, named in
honor of the Radynges of Domesday, remains a quiet rural commu-
nity, and the Pennsylvania Reading, surrounded by its cordon of
hills in the heart of Berks County, though founded a century after
the New England town, bears in population and importance far
greater resemblance to the mother town across the sea. In Ver-
mont is found another Reading, chartered July 6, 1761, and there
are Readings in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Ne-
braska, New York, and Ohio. The Massachusetts locality, origi-
nally styled Lynn Village, was named Reading in honor of the
early home of some of its first settlers.
The English town is situated on the Kennet, near its junction
with the Thames, the two branches of the former stream being here
spanned by four bridges, while an iron suspension bridge crosses
the Thames on the eastern side of the town. A water route to the
Severn is afforded by the Kennet and Avon Canal. A business-
like air is everywhere apparent, and a live business town one soon
finds Reading to be. Biscuit making heads the list of its industries,
the biscuit factory of Huntley and Palmer being the largest in the
kingdom, for Reading biscuits are as widely famous as Pears Soap.
In the suburbs are seed farms covering more than three thousand
acres, and " Sutton's Seeds " have carried the name of Reading
around the world.
In 1121, Henry I. founded here a Benedictine monastery which
speedily became one of the most powerful in England. Its abbots
were mitred and kept their seats in Parliament until, at the word of
Henry VIII., abbots and abbeys ceased to be. Hugh Farrington,

the last abbot, refusing either to yield up his convent or acknowl-
edge the monarch's supremacy, was, with two of his monks, summa-
rily hanged, drawn and quartered before the gate of his own abbey,
thus furnishing to all concerned an object les6on of a kind that the
king was not at all averse to giving. Somewhere within the abbey
Henry I. was buried, and before its high altar, long years after,
were wedded John of Gaunt and Blanche of Lancaster. After the
suppression of the abbey, it was converted into a palace which was
demolished in the Civil War. The great gateway, carefully re-
stored in 1861 j yet stands, forming a portion of the assize courts,
a public thoroughfare passing beneath its hugh arch.
To the east of the gate is a long row of stone residences, and im-
mediately beyond these is the greater part of the abbey ruins ; loffy,
shapeless masses of flint and rubble, covering several acres. Ex-
cept in the case of the chapter house and the great hall where par-
liaments were held, the original purpose of the separate portions,
muffled now in ivy, cannot be definitely settled. To the north of
the gateway some lesser fragments of the abbey are to be seen in
the small park known as The Forbury, once the outer court of the
abbey. The park is a pleasant spot but far too small, an objec-
tion that can scarcely be urged against the memorial in the Forbury
to the Berkshire soldiers killed in the Afghan wars — an immense
cast-iron lion on a pedestal. The material does not commend itself
strongly to lovers of art, but the lion is certainly ferocious of aspect.
Overlooking the park is a Roman Catholic church designed by
Welby Pugin, a rather lifeless copy of Norman models.
The four ancient churches of Reading are those of Saint Giles, in
Southampton Street, consisting of nave, aisles, choir, porch and
west tower, the latter sustaining a slender stone spire ; Grey Friars,
in part a restoration, in part a rebuilding of the church of the Grey
Friars monastery ; Saint Mary ; and Saint Lawrence. The church
of Saint Mary, erected in 1551 from the ruins of a nunnery founded
by Elfrida in repentance for the murder of Edward the Martyr, has
an open timbered roof, and in outline displays nave, choir, gabled
south aisle, north transept, and western pinnacled tower. It has a
large churchyard with modern churchyard cross, and faces an open
area called The Butts, which is adorned by a huge fountain. The
church of Saint Lawrence, in the market place, shows a mixture of
the work of the First and Third Pointed periods, and contains sev-
eral interesting monuments and brasses. It consists of nave, north
gabled aisle, chantry chapel, choir, south porch, and west tower
with tall pinnacles. Its west window is a memorial to Archbishop
Laud, a native of Reading, and in the choir is a window to the
memory of Charles Lamb.
In Friar Street, next north of Saint Lawrence, are the municipal
buildings, of red and black brick, erected in 1875 and 1882, the
earlier part designed by the architect Waterhouse. They include
1906.] Our English Parent Towns. 59
a Town Hall, council chamber, free library, museum, and govern-
ment art schools. Other buildings of importance are the Royal
Assembly Room in Friar Street, Royal County Theatre, Berkshire
Hospital, and the immense and gloomy prison made famous by
Oscar Wilde's powerful " Ballad of Reading Gaol." In Erleigh
Street is the Free Grammar School, an ancient foundation occupy-
ing modern structures. Archbishop Laud was once a pupil here.
In the shadow of the tall clock-tower of the Municipal Building is
a marble statue of Queen Victoria, and in Broad Street may be
seen a bronze statue of the late Mr. Palmer, exhibiting that eminent
biscuit maker in a standing posture and of heroic size, holding in
his right hand a silk hat and a partially opened umbrella. It was
placed in position some years before the death of its subject, and
probably afforded him keener satisfaction than it did his fellow citi-
zens. So far as the writer is aware, it furnishes the only instance
of the appearance of the umbrella as a monumental adjunct.
On the Oxfordshire side of the Thames is the village suburb of
Caversham ; not far to the southward is the village of Shiplake,
in whose parish church the poet Tennyson was married, while at
Bradfield, a few miles to the west of Reading, is the College of
Saint Andrew, founded in 1850 and now accommodating over 300
pupils.
NOTES.
To evade the ship money tax, already referred to in notes by me upon other of
the English Parent Towns, a large emigration had set into New England. In the
spring of 1638 a band of emigrants was formed in the neighboring parts of the
counties of Berks, Wilts, Hampshire, and Oxford. Reading is about fifty
miles north from Southampton ; and Gloucestershire and Dorset on the west,
and Sussex and Surrey on the east, were the bounds of the country in which
dwelt the little band who sailed from Southampton, 24 April, 1633.
" The List of the names of the passengers intended for New-England, in the
good shipp, the Confidence of London, of 200 tonnes, John Jobson Mr and thus
by virtue of Lord Treasurers warrant of the 11th of April, 1638." (Register,
ii, 109.) At the head of the list was the family of Walter Haynes, linen draper,
who settled in Sudbury, Mass., and who came from Sutton Mandeville, Wilts,
ten miles southwest of Salisbury. (Register, xxxix, 263; xlvii, 72.)
John Blanford, John Riddet, and Richard Bidcombe, three servants, are sup-
posed to have come from the same place. Unfortunately the parish register
does not begin till 1654.
Peter Noyes, yeoman, was from Penton Mewsey, Hampshire, three miles
north-west from Andover. John Bent, husbandman, was also from this par-
ish, or rather the adjoining part called Penton Grafton. (Register, xxxii,
407; xlviii, 288.) Nicholas Guy, of Watertown, Mass., carpenter, came from
Upton Gray, Hampshire, three miles south-west from Odiham, and five south-
east of Basingstoke, both places being identified with the Dnmmer family who
had come a few years before. Roger Porter, husbandman, of Watertown, came
from Long Sutton, Hampshire, two and a-half miles south of Odiham. John
Sanders, husbandman, of Newbury. Mass., came from Landford, ten miles
south-east from Salisbury, but he later returned to England, and was at Wick
farm in Downton, Wilts. He married Hester, daughter of Johu Rolfe of New-
bury, who was a fellow passenger, coming from Melchet Park, Whiteparish,
Wilts, seven miles south-east from Salisbury.
Thomas Goodenow came from Shaftesbury, on the borders of Dorset, but a
VOL. LX. 5
60 Our English Parent Towns. [Jan.
few miles south-west of Semley, 'Wilts, where his brother John came from,
and near to Dunhead, Wilts, where Edmund Goodenow came from.
Edmund and William Kerley, of Sudbury, husbandmen, were from Ashmore,
Dorset, five miles south-east of Shaftesbury and on the Wiltshire border.
John Stephens, of Newbury, husbandman, was from Caversham, Oxford-
shire, just across the Thames from Reading. With him was his brother Wil-
liam. The family is an old one there, and attained some prominence in later
days. In the 17th century they held the farm of " Aldwinn's Tenants," and
in the last century Mr. John Stephens of Caversham Rise was a benefactor to
the poor, by a bequest. In the parish church of St. Peter (originally Norman)
the east window is a memorial to him.
Thomas Jones, tailor, of Caversham, Oxfordshire, aged 36 years, with his
wife Ann and four children, came to New England in 1638. He was not the
Thomas Jones of Dorchester, as the latter was here in 1C35. He was the father
of Abraham Jones of Hull, who in 1C58 sold to Daniel Cushing land in the plain
neck, Hingham, given to him by his father Thomas Jones. (Suffolk Co. Deeds,
iv, 129.) Abraham Jones in 1657 had seven sons, Benjamin, Thomas, Abraham,
Joeiah, Joseph, John, and Ephraim. (History of Hingham, ii, 38G.) The land
was granted by the town to Samuel Ward in 1637, and by him transferred to
Thomas Jones in 1638. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, iv, 279.)
Robert Jones appeared in Hingham in 1637. It is probable he was a relative
of Thomas ; if not, he came from the same vicinity in England. 4 Dec, 1646,
"Elizabeth Curtes & Jane Curtes granted unto Robert Jones of Hingham
theire father in law a Ire of Atturr to aske &c : of the executorE of the last will
&c of Jane Alexandr late of Reading in Oxfordshire deceased theire severall &
respective Legacies given them by the last will & testament of the said Jane
Alexandr theire grandmother & of the Receipt &c: also to compound &c: & to
appeare &c : thereto required &c : & generally to- doe all thing8, witnes their
hand & seales." (Aspinwall's Notarial Records, p. 41.)
Another settler was John Benson, who also came from Caversham. He was
of an old Oxfordshire family and was married in Caversham church, where
at least one of his children was baptized.
On the Thames, four and a half miles north-east of Reading, is Shiplake,
whence came the widow Martha Wilder and her daughter Mary to join other
children in New Englaud. Joseph Parker, tanner, came from Newbury, Eng-
land. At his death he had an estate in Englaud, some of which was at Romsey,
Hampshire, seven miles north-west from Southampton. From Romsey also
came Richard Bidgood, of Boston.
Sarah Osgood and four children came from Wherwell, four miles south-east
of Andover in Hampshire. (Register, xx, 24.)
Samuel Sewall had relatives in the Dummer family living at Romsey, and he
also owned land at Lee (Sewall's Diary, Vol. 1), whicb is in Romsey Extra, and
(1880) includes the farms of Henry Swauton and Thomas Wiltshire.
The will of Joan Alexander, of Swallowfield, six miles south-east from Read-
ing, was probated in 1629; Henry Alexander of Reading, in 1625; and Augus-
tin Alexander of Reading, 1636. Richard Curtis of Reading, probated 1639.
Thomas Collier, born in England in 1622, married, 30 Dec, 1647, Jane Curtis.
Robert Jones, in his will iu 1688, mentions his daughter Jane Collier.
21 Dec, 1649, "Thomas Collier of Hull husband of Jane the daughter of
Curtes late of Reading iu Berkshire did constitute John Curtes his brother in
lawe his true & lawful! Attorney granting him power &c: to aske &c: of the
Executo" of Jane Alexander late of Reading aforesaid all such Legacie &c : as
was bequeathed to the sd Jane his wife by the last will of the sd Jane her grand-
mother & of the receipt to give acquitance &c : also to compound &c : &to appeare
iu any court &c : there to doe say sue &c : wth power to substitute fee : ratifying
&c." (Aspinwall's Notarial Records, p. 240-1.) Thomas Collier died in 1691,
leaving wife Jane and Ave children.
John Cogswell, Jim., of Ipswich, Mass., in a letter from London, dated 30
Mch., 1653, speaks of his cousin Stevens. (Register, xv, 177.) In Massa-
chusetts Archives, xxxix, 506, the name is given as Roger Stevens of Redding,
Co. Berks. Roger Stephens married, 29 July, 1040, Martha Blowers, at St.
Mary's, Reading.
Waters's " Gleanings," i, 46, gives a reference to the will of Francis Phips,
the elder, of Reading, Eng. The will, proved in 1GG8, mentions his son Con-
stantine, who was baptized 9 Nov., 1656, at St. Mary's, Reading, died 9 Oct.,
1906.] Records of Second Church of Scituate. 61
1723, and was buried 15 Oct., 1723, at White Waltham, Berk?, ten miles east of
Reading. This Constantine was Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and father of Wil-
liam who married a daughter of the 3d Earl of Anglesey, and grandfather of
Constantine, Baron Mulgrave.
The first Constantine has been frequently spoken of, erroneously, as a son of
Sir William Phips, governor of Massachusetts. The latter was a son of James
Phips, a gunsmith from Bristol, Eng., where there were others of the name.
Francis Phips was not the only one of the name in Reading, Eng., as there
were, contemporary with him, Thomas and John Phips, tallow chandlers.
Augustine Clement, painter, of Dorchester, came from Reading, Eng. He
had property at Wokingham (not Wockington, as given by Pope), which is
seven miles south-east from Reading. The property was then (1638) in the
possession of his sister-in-law Margaret Mathew. Another sister, Anne Clement,
was living at Shinfield, Berks, four miles south of Reading. The parish regis-
ters of Wokingham begin in 1674, and of Shinfield in 1619.
In 1635, on the same ship with Clement, came Sampson Salter, sfisherman,
who was from Caversham, and went to Newport; R. I.
Of the early settlers at Reading, Mass., the only one who seems to have been
connected with Reading, Eng., is John Damon, who is said to have been bap-
tized in the church of St. Lawrence, Reading, 25 June, 1620, and settled at
Reading, Mass., in 1644, the date of its incorporation.
The records of Reading, Eng., are preserved in its town hall, and they are
ancient and numerous. Besides ancient deeds, accounts of the Treasurers,
etc., there are some twenty-three folio volumes, making up a "Corporation
Diary" covering two centuries, the annals of the town from 1622-1822, an in-
teresting period. Of this material, four volumes have been printed by the
borough, to the year 1654.

THE BRISTOL BRANCH OF THE FINNEY FAMILY.*
By Franklin C. Clark, M.D., of Providence, R. I.
This family appears to hare come from England before 1639, and con-
sisted of a mother, a daughter, Catherine, and two sons, Robert and John.
" Mother Finney" died in Plymouth, Apr. 22, 1650, "aged upwards of
80" years.
Children :
i. Catherine,1 m. Gabriel Fallowell, who d. Dec. 28, 1667, aged 83 ;
d. June 7, 1673. Children: 1. John, m. ; d. before 1649.
2. Ann, m. Thomas Pope of Plymouth, who d. July 28, 1637;
d. in May, 1646.
ii. Eobert, b. about 1608 ; m. Sept. 1, 1641, Phebe Ripley, who was
b. 1619, and d. Oct. 9, 1710, in her 92d yr. ; d. Jau. 7, 1687-8 ; re-
sided in Plymouth ; was granted land in 1641 ; a freeman in 1648 ;
an exciseman and juryman; deacon of the church from 1669 till
his death; and deputy from Plymouth to the General Court, 1657-
60, '62-4, '69, '71-2. Having no issue, he willed his property in
Plymouth to his two nephews, Robert and Josiah, the sons of his
brother John ; and in 16S9 they petitioned-the Court for the lands
left them by their uncle Robert.
1. iii. John, called " John the Pilgrim."
1. John1 Finney married first Christiana, or Christian, who died in
Plymouth, Sept. 9, 1649 ; married second, June 10, 1650, Abigail,
daughter of Thomas Bishop and widow of Henry Coggin, who
died May 6, 1653; and married third, June 26, 1654, Elizabeth
Bailey, who was buried in Bristol, Feb. 9, 1683-4. He received a
grant of land in Plymouth in 1639, and again in 1640 and 1641 ;
was made freeman in 1644 ; was an exciseman from 1646 to 1648 ;
and served on several juries. With his son John, Jr., he was ad-
mitted a freeman of Barnstable, May 29, 1670, where John, Jr.,
finally settled. He was at one time a resident of Scituate, Mass. ;
and later joined the company which settled Bristol, in 1680 ; but in
1682 he sold his interest in the Mount Hope lands, at Bristol, to
his son Jonathan. From 1682 no record of him appears till 1702,
when he seems to have removed to Swansea, Mass. He probably
died not long after, as a deed was executed by him at that time to
which he signed with a mark.

i. John,2 b. Dec. 24, 1638 ; the founder of the Barnstable liue.

•The earliest records show the spelling of the name as Finney, and the Plymouth
and Bristol lines, with but a single exception, have retained this spelling. The Barn-
stable line, however, from the first adopted that of Phinney. There was another
family, settled in Connecticut, of the name of Pinney, which should not be confounded
with the Barnstable Phinneys some of whom removed to that State.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
By Geo. A. Gordon, A.M., Recording Secretary.
Boston, Massachusetts, 4 October, 1905. The New England Historic Genea-
logical Society held a stated meeting this afternoon at half-past two o'clock, in
Marshall P. Wilder hall, 18 Somerset street, the President, Hon. James Phinney
Baxter, in the chair.
Charles Cowley, LL.D., of Lowell, being introduced, read a paper on Boston
in the Civil War, 1860-65, from a Naval Vieic-Point, which exhibited exten-
sive research and the presentation of historical events not hitherto subjects of
remark. It was a careful narration of deep interest to the audience, and was
received with applause. After the reading, it was voted that Mr. Cowley be
thanked for his effort, and a copy be requested for the archives of the Society.
The executive officers, severally, presented reports, which were received,
read, accepted, and ordered on file.
Five new resident members and one corresponding member were elected.
The deaths of the late Treasurer, Benjamin Barstow Torrey, and Hon. Jame3
Madisou Barker, LL.D., were announced, and committees appointed to prepare
minutes expressive of the respect of the Society for their memory.
The Treasurer was empowered to release a mortgage ou certain* Kansas prop-
erty, and to receive the legacy left to the Society by the late Robert Charles
Winthrop, Jr., A.M., of Boston.
The meeting theq dissolved.
1 November. A stated meeting was held to-day at the usual time and place,
with the President in the chair. Under suspension of the rules, it was voted
to proceed immediately to the election of a Nominating Committee, and tellers
were appointed and the polls opened.
The operation of the rules being resumed, the chair introduced William Car-
ver Bates, of Newton, who delivered, ex tempore, an address upon Personal Ex-
periences in Confederate Prisons, 1861-2, to the acceptance of an interested
audience. A vote of thanks was tendered the speaker.
90 Proceedings of the JV. E. Hint. Gen. Society. [Jan.
On motion, it was
Voted, That the New England Historic Genealogical Society desires to ex-
press its approval of the work heretofore accomplished by the Boston Ceme-
tery Department in publishing illustrated histories of certain of the more
ancient burying-grounds of Boston ; and, also, desires to express the hope that
the Department will continue its work, until the histories of all such burying-
places shall have been published.
The polls were closed, the vote canvassed and report made, which was read,
accepted, and ordered on file. The chair then proclaimed the election of William
Sumner Appleton of Boston, William Carver Bates of Newton, George Madison
Bodge of West Roxbury, David Henry Brown of Medford, and Albert Alonzo
Folsom of Brookliue, as the Nominating Committee for 1905.
The executive reports were then made, and ordered on file.
William Carver Bates, of the committee to submit a minute in ■niemoriam
Benjamin Barstow Torrey, of Hanover, deceased, presented the following trib-
ute, which was received, read, accepted, and ordered on file and to be spread upon
the record of this meeting, viz :
Whereas, Death has removed from us one who was for many years a firm
friend, an active member, and a trusted officer of this Society,
Therefore, We, the members of the New England Historic Genealogical So-
ciety, do hereby place upon record our deep sense of loss by the death of our
associate, Benjamin Barstow Torrey, and our thankful remembrance and sin-
cere appreciation of his work while with us.
Born of sturdy New England stock, he inherited those qualities of mind and
heart which such an ancestry often transmits to its descendants. Beginning an
active life at an early age, he remained a lifetime in the service of a great cor-
poration and for nearly forty years was its trusted and faithful treasurer, serv-
ing it with ability and discretion, adding during ten years of that service the
duties of the treasurership of a kindred corporation. Elected treasurer of this
Society in 1871, succeeding the late William Blanchard Towne, he brought to
its lesser duties those traits of integrity and honesty of purpose which charac-
terized his life in broader fields ; and for thirty-three years, a longer service
than has been borne by any other treasurer of the Society, he was an efficient
adviser and conservator in financial matters. As a member of the Council, his
genial temper, good-fellowship, and sound judgment gave him the respect and
friendship of his associates.
John Noble, LL.D., of Boston, of the committee to submit a minute in me-
moriam James Madison Barker, of Pittsfield, deceased, presented the following
tribute, which was received, read, accepted, and ordered on file and to be spread
upon the record of this meeting, viz :
James Madison Barker died in Boston the third day of October, 1905.
The New England Historic Genealogical Society places on record its sense of
the great loss it has sustained in the death of a most honored and valued mem-
ber. It records its recognition of a public career distinguished and remarkable
in many fields of service and action.
He has been a legislator of broad and liberal views, of absolute independ-
ence, and of wisdom and foresight. He was a man of affairs, of sound judg-
ment, sagacity and business capacity, proved in the many offices of trust and
houor held by him through his life. A loyal son of Williams College, he was
for many years a member of its Board of Trustees.
He was most widely known, perhaps, through his judicial service,— for nine
years on the Bench of the Superior Court, under the appointment of Governor
Long, in 1882, and on the Bench of the Supreme Judicial Court, under the ap-
pointment of Governor Russell, from June ISth, 1891, till the time of his death.
He had, in a high degree, the essential qualities of a judge,— wide and accurate
knowledge of existing law, legal learning and a grip of legal principles,— the
legal instinct, acute perception, unusual power of analysis, the faculty of
sifting and weighing evidence, the sure grasp of the controlling elements of
a case, painstaking industry, scrupulous concieutiousness, patience, dignified
courtesy, and the aim to do exact justice always and everywhere.
As a citizen he was public spirited, alive to the highest duties of citizenship,
and ready to do his full share therein. He was a man of fine culture and intel-
lectual endowment, of great charm of mauner and bearing, a lover of outdoor
life with a keen enjoyment of all its manly sports, genial and cordial, a most
attractive and welcome companion. He was a loyal friend, full of broad and
tender sympathies, of generous kindness, hearty feeling, always faithful and

true. He was a man in all the relations of life, of absolute integrity, of the
highest sense of honor, and of stainless character.
Twenty new members were elected.
The proposed amendments to the By-laws, as reported by a committee at the
special meeting in May, were given consideration and passage, viz :
That article 1, chapter II, of the By-Laws, be amended so that line numbered
seven in the present edition shall read : — A majority of votes shall elect, but ten
affirmative votes shall be required.
That article 1, chapter III, of the By-Laws, be amended so that the fourteenth
line of the present edition shall read : — Ten members shall constitute a quorum
for the election of members, and twenty members for all other purposes.
No further business being presented, the meeting dissolved.
NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
\
Odell. — William Odell, the founder of an-American family of that name, is
traced as early as 1639 at Concord, Mass., where his children James (died 1641)
and Rebecca were born. He may have been the brother of Ursula Wodell (also
written Odle), who married Christopher Woolly (Wollie) at Concord In 1646.
William Odell died at Fairfield, Conn., in 1676; his will proved there June
6th of that year mentions, among others, his sons William and John Odell and
daughter Rebecca Moorehouse, and disposes of lands in Concord and Fairfield.
William Odell's English ancestry seems likely to be ascertained from the
following interesting clue :
Cranfield, Bedfordshire, England, is a small parish about eight miles from
the village of Odell in the same county. The Cranfield Church Register re-
cords nearly seventy entries of Odell baptisms, marriages and burials, between
the years 1602 and 1625, the name being variously written Wodell, Odell, Odle,
Woddell, Woddle, etc. (See Register, vol. 45, pages 7-8.) Among these en-
tries are the following : —
1602, Feb. 24, William, son of William Wodell of Warleyend, baptized.
1615, July 22, William Odle of Worley, buried.
Perhaps this is the record of the baptism of William Odell who came to New
England, and of the burial of his father.
The name " Warleyend" is doubtless that of a hamlet about one mile from
Cranfield, which appears on an old map of Bedfordshire as " Wallerd or Wall
End."
In Cranfield Parish there was, in 1632, a district, or possibly an estate, known
as " Virginia. " Now it is a very significant and suggestive fact, as disclosed
by the local New England records, that at Concord, Mass., the original road,
cut through the woods by the first settlers, has been called since 1650 "the
Virginia Road," and the district through which it runs, " Virginy." It is also
a fact that, at Concord, the plain just at the end of Virginia was described as
" Crauefield" in the Town Records as early as 164S, and has so continued to be
described almost to the present day. It would certainly seem that these
names, " Virginia" and " Cranefield," were given by the early settlers of Con-
cord in memory of their English home.
It should also be borne in mind that the first minister of Concord, the Rev.
Peter Bulkeley, who came to New England in 1635, svas from Odell Parish,
Bedfordshire, where he had been rector for many years.
What has been related herein seems to furnish a good foundation for further
research. Rufus King.

Washington. — The following extract from a letter of the Rev. R. T. Love,
M.A., Rector of Purleigh, Maldon, co. Essex, England, to the Editor, will be
of interest in connection with Mr. Waters's gleanings concerning the Wash-
ington family. The " printed circulars "refer to a plan for restoring the tower

of Purleigh Church, an appeal in behalf of which will be found elsewhere in
this issue.
" I enclose some printed circulars showing the object which I have in view —
viz., a memorial to the connection between George Washington and Purleigh,
as the last link with the old country. The American flag will be hung out
every year on his birthday when the tower is repaired.
We have found the entry of Lawrence Washington's burial at Maldon. In
the Dr. Plume's Library at that place, which is situated on the site of the old
church of St. Peter's, may be seen a certified copy of the Parish Registers.
The entry is as follows— amongst the burials :
' Mr Lawrence AVashingtou 21 January 1653.'
Now this date fits in with Mr. YVaters's theory, which necessitates the death
of the father before 1655, when John Washington was of age and proved a
will.
In a letter to ' The Times,' immediately before our Mansion House meeting,
it was said that there was no proof of the marriage of the rector of Purleigh.
But .as I find that he resigned his fellowship at Brasenose 1632-3, about the
same time as that in which he became rector of Purleigh, there appears a very
strong prima facie evidence of his marriage. A man does not resign £2-300 a
year, the value of a fellowship, when he has no private means, except on com-
pailsion. Mr. Lawrence Washington had little or no private means (his debt
at Oxford is in evidence), and the- only compulsion which could be applied to
him to compel his resignation would be a marriage. Fellows did not (until the
late new regulation) resign their fellowships on becoming beneficed clergymen,
unless the benefice was a college living. Fellowships were held on life tenure,
whether the fellows did work for it or not. But when they married, they lost
their fellowships. It is stated that Lawrence Washington lost his fellowship
1632-3, therefore he married. He then received at about the same time the
living of Purleigh on presentation of Mrs. Jane Horsmauden, widow; not a
college living.
These two items — his burial at Maldon, and the fact that his marriage only
would necessitate his resignation of his fellowship — I have not seen noted."
Roby. — In the Public Library at Wayland, Mass., in a Journal of Dr. Eben-
ezer Roby during a visit to F.ngland and Holland in 1726, is the following
genealogical -record from a Roby family Bible which is briefly mentioned by
Savage (vol. 3, page 548,).
Dr. Roby was born in Boston, Mass., 20 Sept., 1701, graduated at Harvard
College in 1719, settled in Sudbury, Mass., in 1725, and died in Sudbury, 4 Sept.,

Thayer. — The following inscription from a gravestone in the Hancock
Cemetery at Quincy, Mass., seems to have been omitted by Mr. William S.
Pattee in his " History of Old Braintree and Quiucy," 1878 :
HERE LYES Y* BODY | OF RICHARD THAYER senior | AGED 71
YEARS | DECd AUGUST Ye | 27 1695.
(Footstone) R T Edw. H. Whorf.
Boston, Mass.
[This is the Richard,2 mentioned in my communication to the Register (ante,
vol. 37, page 84) in 1883, after visiting Thornbury, Gloucestershire, England,
who appears in the registers of St. Mary's Church in that town as "Richard
Tayer, baptized 10 February 1624[5]."
His father, Richard1 Tayer (Thayer), who came to New England in 1641 with
eight children — Richard, Sarah, Jael, Deborah, Zachariah, Hester, Nathaniel,
and Cornelius— and settled at Braintree, Mass., was baptized at Thornbury, 5
April, 1601, and married there, 5 April, 1624, Dorothy Mortimore, who was
buried at Thornbury, 17 January, 1640[lj, and was the mother of his children
above named.
There has been much confusion as to the dates of death of the various
Richard Thayers. Richard1 the emigrant was dead before 20th 2d mo. 1668,
as shown in a deed (Suffolk Co. Deeds, V, 446) of his son Richard,2 who died
27 August, 1695, and whose gravestone record Mr. Whorf has copied.
Richard3 (Richard,2 Richard1) died 4 December, 1705 (Braintree records) ;
and his wife Rebecca (Micall) died 28 January, 1732, aged 73 years 8 days
(gravestone).
Richard" Thayer (Richard,3 Richard,2 Richard1) died in 1774 (will probated
27 May, 1774, Suffolk Co.).
Richard,4 son of Cornelius3 and Abigail (Hayden), died 11 September, 1729,
in his 33d year (gravestone).
Abstracts from the church registers of Thornbury, Gloucestershire, relating
to the Tayer (Thayer) family, to be communicated by Mr. Faxon and Mr. Whorf,
will appear soon in the Register. Editor.]
Blachley (ante, vol. 58, page 357).— The date of the deed of Thomas
Blachley to William Maltby was 16 April, 1673, not 1653. William Maltby was
born about 1645. (See " Maltby-Morehouse Family," page 7.) D. L. M.

A Correction.— In the Register, vol. 23, page 2S2, in tracing John Cham-
berlain the Roxbury church sexton of 1659, there mentioned, I find that line
fifteen, commencing with : " It had a bell in 165S," etc., refers to the Rev. John
Eliot's church in Roxbury. The First Church at Newton was not organized
until 1664. The quotations in this paragraph are published in Ellis's History
of Roxbury (1848), pages 23-24, and were taken originally from the town
records of Roxbury, and without doubt refer to the First Church of Roxbury.

Stimpson-Frothlngham. — The article on the Stimpson family, ante, vol. 59,
p. 248, errs in giving the date Dec. 25, 1776, as the date on the gravestone at Wo-
burn of the death of Thomas Frothingham of Charlestown. The inscription
reads: Jan. 1, 1776. (Woburn Epitaphs, p. 48.) Wyman's Charlestown, p. 392,
says of Thomas Frothingham : " d. Dec. 25, 1775 (g. s. at Woburn has 1776) ";
but the lack of sufficient words to complete the sense is a common fault of the
style of literary composition adopted by Wyman in his monumental work. The
latter part of the sentence would have been correct had it read: " (g. s. at
Woburn has Jan. 1, 1776)."
On the other hand, the extract from Wyman's letter of Oct. 18, 1873, printed
as a note to the epitaph of Thomas Frothingham, Woburn Epitaphs, p. 48, is
full of errors when compared with Wyman's Charlestown, pp. 391, 392.

Heraldry in New England. — The following extracts from a letter of
Joseph L. Chester to William H. Whitmore, dated London, Mch. 19, 1864, seem
worth preserving :
" Of course I do not mean to say that no early New England families were
entitled to bear arms, for we all know better, but I do mean to assert that the
proportion was very small. I rather take pride in my position that the greatest
majority of the early settlers were of the hardy yeomanry of England, rather
than from a socially higher class." * * * * " The use of arms is the very
weakest of all evidence. I find them now on the old tombstones where it is
certain that the individual buried had not the slightest claim to them. The
very tombstones themselves are questionable evidence." Editor.
Mussey. — In my investigations of this family — also spelled Mussall. Mussell,
Mudgett, Mussy, Muzzey, Muzzye — I have failed to discover any records earlier
than those of the brothers Abraham and John who took the oath of allegiance,
26 March 1634, to pass to New England in the John and Mary. Of Abraham
nothing further is known. John settled at Ipswich, Mass., in 1634, as did a
Robert, who perhaps was a brother, and both had grants of land that year.
Robert was made freeman in 1G54. There was a Thomas at Cape Porpoise,
Me., in 1663.
John, who was born about 1610. moved to Salisbury, Mass., in 1640, married
Lydia of Cape Porpoise, who was living in 1690, aud was the progenitor
of the Portland, Me., branch of the family.
Robert, who married Bridget Bradstreet, also went to Salisbury, thence to
Pulling Point and Maiden, Mass. He bought laud in Cambridge, that part ad-
joining Lexiugton, Mass., and was the progenitor of the Lexington branch of
the family. A type-written list of his descendants, collated by me, is deposited
with the Lexiugton Historical Society. Wm. Tracy Eustis.

On the Town Records of Southampton, L. I., are entered the births, from
February, 1722-3, to January, 1733-4, of five children of Samuel Bigelow:
Abigail, Timothy, Mary, Isaac, and Samuel.
In April, 1723, Samuel Bigelow, ship carpenter of Southampton, L. I., bought
land in that part of Middletown, Conn., now the town of Chatham.
In July, 1735, he made further purchases, and in September, 1736, had be-
come a resident of Middletown. He made his will Oct. 14, 1748, which was
probated eleven months later. In it he mentions his wife Mehetable, his five
children, and " Elizabeth Spencer my Wifes Daughter."
The Middletown records show the marriage of John Spencer and Elizabeth
Taylor, November 4, 1741. She died January, 1807, aged 90.
When and where was she born, and is there anything further known regard-
ing her father, Joseph Taylor alias William Sanders?

Nelson (ante, vol. 59, page 329).— Oyster River, a parish of Dover [N. H.],
was incorporated as Durham in 1732. It had been made a parish in 1651 ; sep-
arated in 1675; incorporated in 1716. It had suffered severely during the Indian
wars, the enemy frequently committing depredations within its limits." (Mc-
Clintock's " History of New Hampshire," Boston, 18S8, page 176.)
Full notices of " Oyster River " and " Oyster River Garrisons " will be found
in Thompson's "Landmarks in Ancient Dover, N. H.," Durham, N. H., 1892,
pages 16S-189, including mention of Capt. John Woodman and his garrison,
pages 179-1 SO.
In "William Furber's Account. Ferriage," in "New Hampshire State Pa-
pers," Manchester, 1889, Vol. XVII.. pa^e 663, an entry has been found of fer-
riage "in June: 95: by the governor orders Mr. Nathenell ares and mathew
Nellsonn with too men more and horses passing over." This ferriage in June,
1695 — from another entry in the Account, " for passing of foot soldiers to oyes-
ter Rever to keep garisonn at Sundrey times, Eighty three" — was doubtless at
Oyster River.

The following copy of a circular issued by the State of New Hampshire will
be of interest :
The State of New Hampshire, Department of Vital Statistics.
To Perfect the Records of Births, Marriages, and Deaths.
Instructions : —
Purpose of the Law. — The action of the last legislature emphasizes the fact
that it is the policy of the state to secure, for the purpose of safety, record
and ready reference, every record, or part of record, or scrap of personal his-
tory, connected with the births, marriages and deaths that have taken place in
this state. Nearly one million such records are now on file in the Department
of Vital Statistics, alphabetically arranged and grouped by family names, so
that an individual record may be found in a moment.
It is intended to add to this group all the records in the possession of the
towns and cities of the state not hitherto reported, as provided for in chapter
21, Laws of 1905.
Occasional losses of town records by fire and other causes, and the greater
convenience of having a central office for all such records, always available to
any individual in the state, upon application, without expense, and the fact that
such records are becoming more valuable each year, and are sought for legal,
personal, geuealosical, historical and other purposes, makes it a matter of great
importance that the provisions of this law be most carefully and conscientiously
carried out.
Returns Made. — In 1849 the legislature enacted a law requiring births, mar-
riages and deaths, to be returned anuually by town clerks to the secretary of
state. The first returns under this law were made in March, 1851. Some towns
complied with the provisions of the law, others did not, and it is apparent that
no attempt was made to enforce it by state authorities. It therefore follows
that for a period of years, or for certain individual years, many towns made uo
report. All such will be required to complete the records under the law of last
session.
Old Town Records. — We have examined some of the old town records, and
have also received reports concerning them from several town clerks, all of
which shows that in order to ascertain all the records of births, marriages and
deaths in the possession of the towns, it will be necessary for the clerks to
examine, page by page, these earlier books, as frequently the record of a family,
or of a marriage or a birth, was inserted in the town records wherever con-
venient, not infrequently interspersed with other town matters, sometimes en-
tered on the margin of a leaf , or on'the fly-leaf, etc., so that a most careful
search will be necessary to find all these entries. Many of them are very in-
complete, marriages giving only the name of the bride and the groom, and the
98 Notes and Queries. [Jan.
date of marriage, and a birth record, not infrequently giving only the name of
the father; but no matter how meagre and fragmentary the records may be,
each should be copied, and will constitute an individual record under the law.
How the Work will be Done. — In order to assist in the work of collecting
these records, the registrar of vital statistics will request the returns to be
made for stated periods, the first dating from the proprietor's records or the
incorporation of the town down to a certain date, which will be stated. The
second call for records will be from the latter date to a subsequent one, and so
on until the work is completed. Town clerks will, therefore, be requested to
take up the work in chronological order, as stated.
Each individual record must be made on a separate card (yellow) ; must give
whatever data are found in their proper places ; each must be sijrned by the
town clerk, and be dated. The records may be transmitted to the Department
of Vital Statistics at any time, preferable as often as once a month. A blank
card (a few of which will be furnished with the record cards) must be filled,
giving the number, each, of births, marriages, and deaths so returned, and the
years covered in the search. When received at the Department of Vital Sta-
tistics, a receipt, which will be the town clerk's voucher for his fees, will be
forwarded by mail. It is necessary that the transmittal blank be properly filled,
in order that a statement of the work may be incorporated in the receipt.
Compensation. — The law provides that the town clerk shall receive five cents
for each record returned in accordance with the law. This fee is not to be re-
garded as a part of his annual salary, nor to be accounted for in any way to the
town other than by the presentation of the receipt from the Department of Vi-
tal Statistics, showing that the work has been done in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Public Statutes.
No act of the town requiring the clerk to turn all fees into its treasury can
apply in this case. The compensation is for a specific work required by the
state, and no act can deprive the town clerkof that fee.
It is possible that the sum allowed will scarcely pay for the time required to
make a careful search of the earlier town records, but later in this work the
records of certain years will be called for which most towns now have entered
upon special books, so that they can be readily copied, without research, and
will prove remunerative, so that, taken as a whole, the town clerks will be rea-
sonably well paid for their services.
Special Notice. — Black ink must be used in all cases. No hand stamps will be
allowed. Each name must be written so plainly that every letter can be made
out. The cards must be kept neat and clean. Any question on the card that
cannot be answered should be left blank. The cards must not be folded. The
cards should not be numbered. Transmit the records to the Department of Vi-
■. tal Statistics in long envelopes, by mail or express, prepaid. Additional blauks
will be furnished upon application.
If there is anything not perfectly clear, or is not fully understood, the regis-
trar of vital statistics will be glad to explain or to give further information at
any time. TVe trust that everyone who has to do with this work will have a
conscientious regard for exactness and accuracy, and may realize fully its im-
dortance to the state.
Concord, N. H., July, 1905. (Signed) Irving A. "Watson, Registrar.
Note. — We have found that in some instances the certificates of births, mar-
riages and deaths returned to the town clerk by the officiating clergymen and
physicians were not recorded on the books, but put away in packages or iuto
pigeon holes. All of these must be copied aud returned. A return must be
made of every record, no matter how it may have been kept, for the years called
for by the registrar of vital stati-tics.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating "family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices,
graduation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and
dates of birth, marriage, residence, and death. When there are more than one
Christian name, they should all be given in full if possible. No initials should
be used when the full name is known.

moved to Rehoboth about 1613. He desires to enter into correspondence with
representatives of this family.

Connecticut in 1653. To which is prefixed a General Account of the Fanning
Family in Europe from Xorman times, 1197, to the Cromwellian Confiscations,

Compiler. 1905. Royal 8vo. pp. xvi+872. Price $20.00. Subscriptions to
be sent to the Author, 54 Queen St., Worcester, Mass.
These very beautiful volumes are the product of fifteen years of labor both in
this country and abroad. An account of the family in Ireland from the twelfth
to the middle of the seventeenth century is given, as well as a record of ten gene-
rations of the descendants of Edmund Fanning in this country, which includes
the descendants of Capt. James Fanning who settled in Long Island about 1715.
Lists of those who performed military service from the Colonial to the Civil
War will be found especially helpful. Mr. Franklin P. Rice, so well known
for his historical work in Worcester County, has supervised the books typo-
graphically, and in addition to the pleasure thus afforded there are more than
fifty illustrations in steel plate, photogravure, engravings in color, with maps
and plans. The volumes are bound in half moroco with uncut edges and gilt
top and printed on paper made for this work. Three full indexes are given.

The body of this work consists of records of the Forbes of Forbes, Pitsligo,

•which is in pamphlet form, is fine.

Mackay, Fraser, and Cameron are prominent. The pamphlet is beautifully
printed and illustrated. No index.
Genealogy of the Greely-Greeley Family. By George Hiram Greelet. Bos-
ton, Mass". 1905. 8vo. pp. 911. 111.
This genealogy comprises solely the descendants of Andrew Greele of Salis-
bury, Mass. It is not to lie regarded as a history of the family, as biographical
notices are too infrequent among the fourteen thousand descendants here re-
corded. As a genealogy it is apparently as exhaustive as works of this nature
can be made. There are sixteen illustrations, nearly all portraits. It is well
indexed.

Britain, by Thomas .Allen Glenn. One Hundred Copies privately printed.
Phila. 1905. 4to. pp. ix+85.
The concluding paragraph of the preface of this genealogy is so remarkable
that we copy it, as best showing the character of the work : " The compiler,
having been practically unlimited by his principal in the matter of expenditure,
can conscientiously state that no record likely to cast even a side light upon
the subject has rested unexamined, and, finally, the following pedigree has
been compiled from Family Archives, existing Official Records as cited or set
forth at large, and from the ancient Welsh Authorities, some in one time, some
in another, so that no man hereafter may either augment it or lessen it, or form
a uew pedigree or lose the old." It is only to the Welsh portion of the pedigree
that this applies ; the author does not consider himself responsible for the Penn-
sylvania section, as that has been supplied by members of the family. There
are several facsimilies, and paper and type are excellent. There is no index.

In 1901 there appeared a volume by Miss Leavitt entitled " Groups of Palmer
Families from Walter Palmer of Charlestown and Rehoboth, Mass., Stoning-
ton, Conn." This is reprinted here, and occupies two hundred and eighteen
pages. Then follows " The Melvin Line," traced through five generations, suc-
ceeded by the "Spencer Line," "Rhode Island Ancestry," "Colonial Propo-
sitii," " Colonial Records," and forty-two pases of index. Two charts are
inserted, viz., " Melville of Melville," and "Melville of Raith." Very notice-
able is the abundance of biography, scarcely a page of mere genealogy occurring
throughout the volume, while, the " Rhode Island Ancestry " is wholly a series
of biographical sketches. Nothing better could be desired than the style of
print and paper, and the binding is attractive.

In the Introduction is to be found the lineage, for sixteen generations, of the
founder of the family, while in the "Genealogy" there are eight generations
from the " Emigrant Ancestor." There are thirteen appendices consisting of
correspondence, wills, petitions, affidavits, genealogies, aud other valuable ma-
terial. The illustrations are numerous and fine, besides which there are many

facsimiles of autographs, private papers and public documents, together 'with
a dozen tabular charts. The biographies are frequent, and many of them of
extraordinary length. The print is excellent, the margins wide, and the bind-
ing substantial. There are two tables of index.

lines being disregarded. Though covering so few pages, the fine print gives a
great deal of matter in little space. The book is well made and indexed.

The editor of Mr. Westervelt's work says it is done " in such a thorough and

any material way or manner." A short sketch of the family in Holland pre-
cedes the American records. The book is splendid in appearance, and has a
complete index.

Captain Myles Standish. By Tudor Jexks. New York : The Century Co. 1905.
12mo. pp. viii-|-250. 111.
A life of Captain Standish is necessarily little else than the history of the
Pilgrims from the time of their landing at Plymouth to the date of his death,
in 1656. Of the career of the Captain previous to his association with the Pil-
grims we have the scantiest information. This book furnishes quite a history
of the Pilgrim colouy, preceded by exceedingly fine chapters on the " England
of the Pilgrims," "The Separatists," and " The Standish Family." The char-
acterization of Standish seems a correct one, and it is written in a very clear
style.

pp. xlvi-|-476.
This work consists of two parts, the first being " Records prior to 1600," the
second, " Officials prior to 1G00." The first part contains five volumes of " Diet
Books " and one of " The Decree Books." The editorial treatment, with respect
to each book, provides an introduction, a table of contents, and illustrative ex-
amples. In the " Table of Contents" of the entire work the " Illustrative Ex-
amples" are indexed. The " Officials" section is not a mere list of names, but
a series of biographical sketches, though in mere outline. The verdict ex-
pressed in the " General Introduction " on the six books of part first is that the
items of value to the legal antiquarian and genealogist will be found infrequent.

The unique feature of this history is an entertaining Narrative which com-
prises Part I., and portrays minutely the every-day life of the early settler of
Concord, — his natural surroundings aud the obstacles he had to overcome in
order to make his home, his relations with the Indians, religious, civil, and so-
cial life, superstitions, manners and dress. The author has employed both fic-
tion and fact in order to produce this detailed pen-picture of colonial days.
Part II. gives chronologically the annals of the town from 1635 to 1692, and
furnishes brief biographical sketches of the original grantees. Many old or
famous houses now standing are described aud located, and photographs of
most of them, with portraits of noted Concord people, are among the flue illus-
trations which add to the pleasure derived from this well-printed, handsome
volume. A good index is supplied. a. l. w.

These notices are, in almost every case, biographical sketches which, in some
instances, cover an entire page, — very thorough treatment, considering that the
volume records the services of teachers who labored during a period of two
hundred aud sixty years. The various subjects connected with the main theme

niversary of the Settlement of the Town. By Samuel Abbott Green. Groton:
1905. 8vo. pp. 52.
The influence of charters, governors, and changing policies, through two
and a half centuries, upon the origins and bounds of a frontier town are here
traced "with remarkable clearness. Dr. Green shows his abiding affection for
Groton, his deep insight into New England character, his knowledge along
many lines, and his intercourse with men. He describes a visit to the English
Groton, and adds notes on other towns of the name, on Indian words, and on
subjects of local interest. The address will be read with pleasure for its ac-
curacy of historical detail, its breadth of view, and its touches of happy philos-
ophy, c. K. B.

More than one kind of specialist, as well as the general student of history,
will find here material of unusual interest and utility. Every aspect of the
colonial development of the town has been carefully and scientifically investi-
gated, and the results are presented in a well-made and well-printed book, with
exceptionally beautiful illustrations. Specifications for building some of the
old houses here photographed give us an insight into colonial architecture sel-
dom obtained, and the witchcraft papers, early court records, military rolls and
private letters are all valuable, but even more noticeable than these are the ab-
stracts of land titles, exteuding from the original grantee to the present time.
The appendices furnish a list of the first settlers, early inventories, letters of
Rev. Nathaniel Ward, Giles Firrnin, Samuel Symouds, Sarah Goodhue, and the
narrative of Rev. John Wise. The analytical index is excellent. a. l. w.

make all the records of a similar character available for public use to the year
1888, when the city began to print them in the annual reports."

History of the Maumee River Basin, from the Earliest Account to Its Organization

Published by the Author, Defiance, Ohio. [1905.] 4to. pp. viii+638+xx.
Map.
This is a work of the most thorough character, beginning with the geology
of the region of which it treats, and its prehistoric inhabitants, and then pro-
ceeding to narrate the first explorations, the various wars of which the Basin
has been the theatre, including that of 1812, the subjects of the concluding
chapters being treaties with the Indians and missionary activities among them,
the present drainage system, the first American settlers, the organization of
counties, the development of communication, public lands, schools and libraries.
While agreeing with the author that the actions of the aborigines should be
related in the spirit of the historian and not of the sentimentalist, we doubt if
everyone would describe their treatment by the government as " the ever mag-
nanimous dealings with them of the United States."

Published by the Weymouth Historical Society. 8vo. pp. 164.
This interesting and suggestive volume contains much to arrest attention.
In his first address, Mr. Adams gave the history of Weymouth, but with no
attempt to connect local events with other events elsewhere. Mr. Adams now
recognizes that this was an error, and in his second address, prompted partly
thereto by Mr. Nash, he shows that the real significance of the early years of
Weymouth was the contest between Episcopacy and Puritanism, with the ulti-
mate triumph of the latter. His thrust at Longfellow, and his vigorous pro-
test against closing our eyes to the evils of the olden clays and against the undue
prominence given to wars, will meet with a sympathizing response from those
whose aim in studying history is to attain the truth. a. m.

This report shows that particular efforts have been made in forming a careful
list of the Town and Probate records throughout the State, and is accompa-
nied by recommendations regarding their preservation. A list of the ancient
Court records, compiled under the supervision of the State Librarian and the
Secretary of State, is also included in the report. Besides these, the report
contains a list of Probate Districts, by the Librarian of the Conn. Hist. Society.
The entire document is a labor of great importance, whose results will be in-

DEATHS.
Gustatus Adolphtts Hkckxev, a bene-
factor of this Society, was born in
Barnstable, Mass., Aug. 15, 1822, and
died at his home in that village, a few
rods from his birthplace, on the 7th of
August, 1905, in his eighty-third year.
"While Barnstable was always his home,
his early manhood was spent elsewhere.
Leaving his father's house at the age
of eighteen, for Boston, he was in a store
on Long "Wharf for a few years, and
then thoroughly learned the trade of
a machinist, becoming well skilled in
the various branches of that business,
and was sent to different parts of this
country and to Cuba, putting up en-
gines and giving instruction in me-
chanics. He later went to Lake
Superior, and was employed as Super-
intendent of thePewabic Copper Mines,
and after the discovery of oil in Penn-
sylvania, he became the manager of an
oil- farm there for several years.
Returning to Barnstable in 1S72, he
was in 1S74 urged to become the Treas-
urer of the Barnstable Savings Bank,
then one of the largest banks in south-
eastern Massachusetts. In 1883 he
retired from public service, but re-
mained a tireless worker up to the year
of his death.
Mr. Hinckley's tastes were scholarly
and literary, and the " midnight oil "
was freely burned. He was always
greatly interested in historical and
genealogical matters pertaining to _the
Old Colony. He was a lineal descend-
ant of Gov. Thomas Hinckley, Rev.
John Lothrop the first settled minister
of Barnstable, Rev. John Robinson of
Leyden, John Howland and others of
the Mayflower, the old families of Gor-
ham, Easterbrook, Davis, and others.
He took a great interest in his native
town, and it is said that his " Rebellion
Record," prepared at the expense of
1906.]

much time and labor and presented to
the town of Barnstable, is one of the
most complete in the Commonwealth.
Mr. Hinckley was very painstaking
and accurate. He had copies made for
himself of all the early records of the
town of Barnstable, the early volumes
of the County Probate Records, and
the early Church records, and had the
same carefully compared and fully in-
dexed. He also personally visited all
the burying grounds and cemeteries in
all the different villages of the town, and
had a complete record of the names and
dates on all the tombstones and monu-
ments, as well as pictorial representa-
tions of many of the headstones, en-
graved by himself. He was wel} known
and appreciated by people dwelling in
nearly every State in the Union, to
whom he gladly and freely gave of his
information concerning their ancestry,
and was always ready to be interviewed
by any one interested in the Old Colony
and its early settlers. A well known
genealogist writes of him : " Since the
days of Amos Otis no man has done so
much to preserve the records, monu-
ments and history of his native town
as he has done. But little of his work
has been published, but it has all been
preserved, and will be of great value to
those interested in the early history of
the town. He wrote the history of
each man who represented Barnstable
in the Civil War ; he was an authority
upon the history of the early settlers,
and gave freely to all inquirers copies
of his notes. Mr. Hinckley was a true
country gentleman. He loved the his-
tory of Barnstable. He once said, 'In
passing the old milestones I feel like
taking off my hat in honor of the first
settlers who placed them there.'"
Mr. Hinckley was never married. He
lived a plain unostentatious life, and by
Teason of his modest living and quiet,
economical habits he was enabled from
his moderate earnings and careful sav-
ings to provide perpetually for the
children of others. His gifts or be-
quests of $15,000 to the Boston Univer-
sity to assist deserving students not
wholly able to get such education as
they desired; $6000 to the St. Luke's
Hospital at New Bedford to provide a
free bed for those of his native town,
or count}', who should be unable to
provide for themselves such needed
medical treatment; and a bequest of
$5000 to the State Board of Education
for the benefit of those partially unable
to bear the expense of a Normal School
training, evince his interest in social
■and educational matters, and in the
welfare of those yet to come to inhabit
'that portion of our Commonwealth so
loved by Mr. Hinckley ; while his be-
quest to this Society of all his " records
relating to public or genealogical mat-
ters, whether bound or unbound, in-
cluding several volumes of memorial
inscriptions in the cemeteries and bury-
ing grounds in the town of Barnstable,"
not only shows his interest in its wel-
fare, but a desire to furnish, after his
death, to those interested, the help and
information he so willingly and gene-
rously bestowed during his life.
Mr. Hinckley was in religious be-
lief and training a Unitarian, and his
bequests to the Orthodox, Baptist, and
Episcopal Societies in Barnstable, as
well as to the Unitarian Society, serve
sufficiently to show that he was broad-
minded, earnest and sincere, and de-
sirous of assisting, as his means would
allow, those who were trying to better
themselves and to make others better
and happier. F. H. L.
Barnstable, Mass.
Charles William Manwamng, gene-
alogist and member of the Connecticut
Historical Society, passed away on
Saturday, Aug, 19, 1905, in Hartford,
Conn., where he had resided many years.
He was born in Waterford, New
London County, Conn., May 9, 1829,
and was a descendant of one of the
oldest families in Connecticut, the Man-
warings being among the earliest set-
tlers of that State, and their genealogy
being easily traceable for many genera-
tions before the settlement of the New
World. In his young manhood he be-
came a builder and contractor, but his
love for books and research led him to
take up a line of work which has re-
sulted in his leaving behind him a
monument more enduring than stone,
and a work which will be more and
more appreciated as future generations
come and go.
Mr. Manwaring was about seventy
years old when he conceived the idea
of putting into a concise and durable
form the contents of the original books
of probate records of Connecticut, part
of which were in the State Capitol and
part in the Halls of Record at Hartford,
and all of which, from excessive use
and the lapse of time, are rapidly ap-
proaching a condition when access to
them will be obtained with difficulty.
Having conceived the idea, he immedi-
ately began the work of putting it into
a practical form, and for the remaining
years of his life labored incessantly and
under great physical disability, and

succeeded in bringing his compilation
down to 1750, comprising the first fif-
teen of the original books, and which
is now being issued in three octavo
•volumes, two of them having already
been published, and the third about to
be issued. To this work he has given
the title, " A Digest of Early Probate
Records of Connecticut," and while it
is a work of great value to reference
libraries, genealogiets, and all who are
interested in tracing their ancestry, it
is also a pioneer work in its line, point-
ing the way to what may be done in
other parts of the State and in sister
States in the way of putting their an-
cient and valuable records into a form
that will forever insure against their
loss or destruction. Only great pa- '
tience, determination, courage, and an
abiding faith in the merits of the work
could have brought about its production,
especially at such an advanced age, and
Connecticut was fortunate in possessing
among her citizens one who was equip-
ped with such necessary qualifications,
and the State has recognized his labors
by purchasing copies of the work for
official use.
It is a sad fact that on the day fol-
lowing the completion of his great com-
pilation he succumbed to thefatal disease
which at last took him away— a can-
cerous affection of the throat — thus
showing with what great courage and
suffering he must have pursued his
labors on the latter part of his work.
For nine months he patiently bore his
affliction, until death released him, leav-
ing a work that will preserve his name
forever. Geo. E. Weight.

Philip Adsit Fisher, minister and gene-
alogist, compiler of the Fisher Gene-
alogy, died of tuberculosis, Feb. 26,
1905, at Highland, Cal., aged 35 years.
He was born at San Francisco, Cal.,
Nov. 11, 1869, the younger of the two
sons of Sidney Augustus and Julia
(Brigham) Fisher, was educated in the
San Francisco Boys' High School and
University of California, and graduated
from the San Francisco Theological
Seminary in 1898, taking charge of the
Walnut Creek Presbyterian Church,
Contra Costa County, immediately after
graduation.
On June 6, 1890, he married Emma
Florence Donner, and a daughter, Angie
Florence Fisher, was born to them, June
8, 1891. In Sept., 1902, Mr. Fisher be-
came pastor of the Presbyterian Church
of Mill City, Oregon, where he re-
mained until his health failed, two years
later. Thinking that a change of cli-
mate might benefit him he journeyed to
Southern California, where he lived but
a brief month. Mr. Fisher was a man
of studious habits. He loved nature
and had traveled extensively. He was
very ambitious in his work, in spite of
the fact that he was laboring under
great physical infirmities which would
have discouraged a less arduous man.

at Merry Hill, N. C, Sept. 22, 1904.
He was the editor and publisher of the

APRIL, 1906.
BENJAMIN BARSTOW TORREY.
By William Carter Bates, Esq.
The subject of this sketch was treasurer of the New England
Historic Genealogical Society from 1871 to 1904, when he resigned
on account of failing health, serving the Society with surpassing
faithfulness and accuracy. When he became treasurer, the assets
of the Society were about $10,000, and the yearly income no more
than $1,500; at the termination of his service, the assets had in-
creased to above $200,000, outside of the invaluable library, and
the annual income was about $10,000. It is no small matter to
have accounted for the finances for such a period without criticism
or error, and Mr. Torrey's success in this field of activity might
well have satisfied his desire to serve others with faithfulness, but
he was for most of this long period the treasurer of the Boston and
Providence Railroad, and, in the later years, also of the Old Colo-
ny Railroad, which meant the charge of one million to two million
dollars annual income, for much of the time. Mr. Torrey's long
service as treasurer of the Society, and as ex officio member of the
Council, endeared him to many fellow workers and others who met
him often in the various activities of a busy and long extended
period. An opportunity was given to some of these friends to ex-
press briefly their appreciatiation of Mr. Torrey's character, and
these tributes follow, somewhat condensed to meet the exigency of
a limited space, and will precede a more detailed mention of the
genealogy and outward events in his life.
It is with a mournful pleasure that I recall my memories of the late
treasurer of the Society, Mr. Torrey. My acquaintance with him dates
back through the past quarter of a century, and I met him frequently dur-
ing that period, and at one time almost daily, either in the business world
or at 13 Somerset Street.
His genial disposition was always apparent, something unusual in this
worl I where one is apt to be depressed by upsets in business or by ill
health. This genial nature was with him to the last, and at more social
runctions than the meetings of the Society, during the past two years,
VOL. LX. 9
116 Benjamin Barstow Torrey. [April,
though he eDJoyed the occasions, I marked with pain his increasing infirm-
ities.
His appreciation of the eccentricities of his fellow-men was keen, and
there is no class in which these weaknesses appear more frequently than in
genealogists and students of history. His remarks, however, were never
inspired by malice.
His labors were always highly valued by his fellow members, and when
dissension entered the ranks he continued his labors, looking only to the
welfare of the Society, and his position was appreciated by all.
To the late faithful librarian, John Ward Dean, this country and even
England is indebted for advancing the study of New England genealogy
and history. The people of the States owe him still more in the advan-
tages derived from a free access to the store house mainly gathered through
his labor. In this life work, be was wisely and conscientiously assisted, in
its financial affairs, by Mr. Torrey, a busy man, but one who gave his time,
quietly and gratuitously, without any desire for fame.
I can also testify to his devotion to family ties, in the care of his invalid
wife.
His lack of a large estate at his death was a surprise to many, but it was
only another proof of his devotion to his kindred and his disinterested
services to the Society. "Walter Kendall Watkins.
Mr. Torrey was a good friend of mine for many years. The acquaint
ance began when he with Mrs. Torre}' passed a winter in Milton in order
to be near Mrs. Samuel Adams — a sister of Mrs. Torrey's— a neighbor
and friend of ours. He always impressed me as eminently faithful and
loyal in every relation of life. His devotion to his invalid wife was very
beautiful — he seemed to be a token of strength to all of his family and
friends — giving most liberally of his means to those less fortunate than him-
self. He was sent for several years as a delegate to the Diocesan Convention
from his parish Church of St. Andrew at Hanover. It is needless to say he
was faithful to his duties and responsibilities — as in every other position of
trust where he was placed. We all knew of his long and honorable con-
nection with the Providence Railroad as treasurer — and of the esteem and
regard of his fellow officers for him. His devotion and interest in the So-
ciety and lasting effort in its behalf extending over a period of forty years
— we all remember with gratitude. His genial and pleasant greeting w ill
be long missed by bis mauy friends so long identified with him in the New
England Historic Genealogical Societv. His love for the old Torre v
homestead, so long in the Torrey family, was very noticeable, and I shall
never forget a most charming visit enjoyed there during Mrs. Torrey's life-
time. It affords me much pleasure to add my simple tribute to that of
others who hold a more clever pen. Cornelia Towxsend.
My acquaintance with the late Mr. Benjamin Barstow Torrey, lon^ time
Treasurer of the New England Historic Genealogical Societ}-, was very
slight. The impression left on my mind is that of a courteous official with
whom it was a pleasure to have dealings, a genial, kindly gentleman,
whose abiding cheerfulness, closely akin to " Jest and youthful Jollity,"
often finding expression in jocose remarks, made him ever a welcome pres-
ence in the Society's rooms. Mary H. Graves.
1906.] Benjamin Barstow Torrey. 117
My relations with Mr. Torrey were more as a personal friend than as an
officer of the Society, as he was a relative of mine and we had many inter-
ests in common. As an officer he was kindness and indulgence itself, as a
man he was genial and sweet natured, with many acquaintances but few
intimate friends — I think he cared for very few in that way. He was a
good raconteur, and enjoyed himself greatly when in contact with bright
minds and exchanging good stories, and he was a devoted husband and
brother. Susan C. Kennedy.
My acquaintance with Mr. Torrey began before I knew him in official
relations, in the New England Historic Genealogical Society. That he
was a gentleman in the true sense of the word cannot be doubted, and I
found him to be so in my early intercourse with him. Honest, we know
he was. Kind hearted, no one will dispute. Although I was not so inti-
mate with him as were some others in our Society, I knew him well enough
to know that all good qualities were his, and the reverse, never.
The Society does well to honor his memory with more than a passing
notice. Aaron Sargent.
Our associate, Benjamin Barstow Torrey, was a business man of ability,
occupying a position where he had ample opportunity to exercise his char-
acteristic courtesy and patience. As treasurer of the Boston and Provi-
dence Railroad Company for many years, and later also of the Old Colony
Railroad Company, thousands of people knew him as an agreeable gentle-
man who performed his duties, especially those connected with the transfer
of shares of the capital stock, in an exceptionally considerate and obliging
manner. Thoroughly understanding his business, he never departed from
fundamental principles, but would waive petty technicalities and did all in
his power to unravel the legal tangles that peculiar conditions had created.
Apart from the really difficult problems that came to him for solution,
there were a multitude of instances where helpless people, some of them
ignorant, were greatly puzzled as to what to do, and all such found in Mr.
Torrey a kind friend, who cordially gave much time to assisting them.
In many such cases, presumably, there was but slight recognition of his
kindness, but a great number did appreciate it, and he was one of the most
popular corporation treasurers in Boston. It does not appear that any
court ever questioned an act of his or the correctness of his conclusions,
or that the railroads or any individual ever lost a cent in consequence of
his disposition to facilitate the transfer of stock. By his business asso-
ciates Mr. Torrey was highly esteemed, and there was never a higher
official that the humbler employees liked better than they did Treasurer
Torrey. Absolutely honest, he possessed abilities that his quiet unassum-
ing ways could not conceal, and the record of his life is that of a compe-
tent official and a kind and good man. To me it is a pleasure to pay even
this inadequate tribute to his memory. Geo. KcriN Clarke.
I am glad to have an opportunity of expressing my admiration of the
character of our late Treasurer, Benjamin Barstow Torrey, who in his
quiet and unobtrusive life had endeared himself to a large number of friends
and associates.
My intimate acquaintance with him was formed in the latter part of his
life, beginning when I was elected one of the Auditing Committee of the
, Society, and in that capacity I had an opportunity of learning how devoted
118 Benjamin Bar stow Torrey. [April,
he was to the Society : how carefully he guarded its interests, and how
painstaking he was in carrying out his work as its treasurer. When the
time came for him to relinquish his duties, owing to steadily increasing
physical infirmities, it was almost like the parting from a beloved friend to
give up his books and accounts, which he had so long and patiently cared
for: like a mother separating herself from a child for whom to sacrifice
herself had become a part of her life.
Without disparaging by contrast the work of his predecessors, or of his
successors, it can be truly said that he was a model officer, whose duties
never have been nor ever will be more creditably carried out than during
his administration.
When such a friend is taken from us, it creates a void which cannot
easily be filled. Charles S. Penhallow.
I beg to say that, strong as were the words of commendation uttered
and the resolutions adopted at the close of Mr. Benjamin Barstow Torrey's
long services as Treasurer of the New England Historic Genealogicul So-
ciety, it still seems to me that we nevertheless scarcely appreciate the im-
mense value of his quiet, constant service. He always had the welfare of
the Society at heart, and no one took more pride than he in the growth of
our funds from well nigh nothing at the beginning, to approximately three
hundred thousand dollars at the close of his term of office as treasurer.
He did not, and indeed could not, personally contribute largely to the
funds of the Society, but as auditor of the treasurer's accounts I have ob-
served that he always favored strictly safe investments, and that he gave
freely a vast amount of valuable time in order that the Society's books
might be properly kept.
The Society is certainly to be congratulated that, while still in the full
vigor of manhood, he consented to sit for the excellent portrait which
Capt. A. A. Folsom and others of his friends secured for the office of the
Society, — a fitting recognition of his long and valuable service.
Hosea Starr Ballou.
I saw in the Herald the other day a notice of the death of Mr. B. B.
Torrey, and as he had led a good life, reached an advanced age, sustained
a good name, and gained the love of all h's friends and the respect of all
who knew him, why should we mourn his decease when his powers had
failed? Francis H. Fuller.
On receipt of the tribute of recognition of Mr. Torrey as treas-
urer, the Society adopted this at the meeting, May 4, 1904, in
recognition of his services :
The members of the New England Historic Genealogical Society unani-
mously place upon its records their testimonial of regret that its late treas-
urer, Benjamin Barstow Torrey, has felt compelled to relinquish the
duties of that responsible office.
Elected a member of this Society, May 4th, 1864, its assistant treasurer
on January oth, 1870, and its Treasurer on January 4th, 1871 ; Mr. Tor-
rey has for forty years been an highly esteemed Counsellor and, as the
custodian of the Society's moneys and securities for thirty three years, a
trusted and valued official.
The Society's fund, increasing from §9,713.81, in 1870, to the sum of
$313,671.37, at the termination of his trust, shows the painstaking care
1906.] Benjamin Barstow Torrey, 119
aud labor he has performed ; a laborious service, that he has cheerfully
arid freely rendered and made us his debtor.
For his steadfast and unswerving fidelity to our society's best interests,
for his splendid financial record and for his uniform courtesy and good
fellowship, we heartily thank him, and cordially wish him that tranquil
rest and freedom from care that a faithful service of so many years merits.
The following Minutes and Resolutions were adopted at the stated
meeting of the Society, November 1, 1905 :
The Society should place upon its records an acknowledgment of its
deep indebtedness and gratitude to the late Benjamin Earstow Torrey, a
life member since 1864, and for his long continued and pecuniarily unre-
quited service to the Society as Treasurer from 1871 to 1904, a period of
thirty-three years' continuous service. When he came to the treasurership
the assets of the Society were about 810,000; when he resigned on ac-
count of failing health in 1904, the property of the Society had increased
outside of the invaluable library, to over 8200,000. To conduct these
large accounts with faithful and accurate fidelity for more than thirty
years would seem to be an accomplishment to gratify the ambition of an
ambitious man, but Treasurer Torrey modestly pursued his way apparently
unaware of doing anything out of the usual, and all this time he was
Treasurer of the Boston and Providence Railroad, whose earnings in-
creased from 81,066,000 annually to $1,905,000 annually, and during the
last ten years he was also Treasurer of the Old Colony Railroad. In each
of these positions Mr. Torrey betrayed not only an expected fidelity, but
his intercourse with associates and with the public was always urbane and
courteous, often under the irritating pressure of ill health, and his friends
testify to the constant cheer of his presence.
A number of friends associated for many years in various relations of
life with Mr. Torrey, have sent to the Society tributes of respect and af-
fection ; these will be preserved in the archives as a memorial volume
constituting, we believe, a memorial tender and true, endearing and digni-
fied as well befits the character of a man so faithful and pure.
Whereas, Death has removed from us one who was for many years a
firm friend, an active member, and a trusted officer of the Society,
Therefore, We, the members of the Xew England Historic Genealogical
Society, do hereby place upon record our deep sense of loss by the death
of our associate, Benjamin Barstow Torrey, and our thankful remembrance
and sincere appreciation of his work while with us.
Born of sturdy New England stock, he inherited those qualities of mind
and heart which such an ancestry often transmits to its descendants. Be-
ginning an active life at an early age. he remained a lifetime in the service
of a great corporation aud for nearly forty years was its trusted and faith-
ful treasurer, serving it with ability and discretion, adding during ten years
of that service the duties of the treasurership of a kindred corporation.
Elected treasurer of this Society in 1871, succeeding the late William
Blanchard Towne, he brought to its lesser duties those traits of integrity
and honesty of purpose which characterized his life in broader fields ; and
for thirty-three years, a longer service than has been borne by any other
treasurer of the Society, he was an efficient adviser and conservator in
financial matters. As a member of the Council, his genial temper, good-
fellowship, and sound judgment gave him the respect and friendship of his
associates.
120 Benjamin Barstow Torrey. [April,
Benjamin Barstow Torrey of Boston was a native of Pembroke,
Plymouth County, Mass., born November 22, 1837, eon of Capt.
Haviland and Salome (Barstow) Torrey, a lineal descendant of
Captain William Torrey of Weymouth (1640), and numbered
among his emigrant ancestors several other early settlers of the
Massachusetts Bay and Plvmouth Colonies. The Torrey line is
William,' William,2 Haviland,3 William," William,5 Haviland,6
Benjamin Barstow7. Capt. Haviland6 Torrey was born at Pem-
broke, October 29, 1791, and died August 26, 1865. His wife
Salome, born at Hanover, July 24, 1801, died May 3, 1878, was
a daughter of John Burden and Betsey (Eells) Barstow, of Hano-
ver. Her father, John Burden5 Barstow, was born in 1764, and
was a descendant, in the fifth generation, of William1 Barstow who
came to New England in 1635, was at Dedham in 1636, a freeman
at Scituate in 1649, and the first recorded settler in the locality now
called Hanover, Mass. The line of descent was through his son
William,2 Jr., born at Scituate in 1652-; Benjamin,3 born in 1690,
whose second wife was Sarah Burden ; Thomas," who married Sa-
rah, daughter of John Studley ; to John Burden6 Barstow, above
named, who was a ship builder, and who held the rank of Colonel
in the State Militia. His homestead at Hanover was known as
"Broad Oak Farm." Col. John B. Barstow died in Hanover at
the advanced age of ninety years, having survived his wife Betsey
(Eells) Barstow, who died in 1852, in her ninety-first year.
Capt. Haviland Torrey and his wife Salome had five children,
two of whom, Benjamin Barstow and Herbert, reached maturity.
Herbert died suddenly, at the South Terminal Station, Boston, on
July 24, 1901.
Benjamin Barstow Torrey was educated at the Hanover Acade-
my, 1851-1855, and at the University Grammar School at Provi-
dence, P. I., which he attended about one year. He taught in one
of the district schools of Milton, a few terms, making his home
with the Misses Bent, of one of the old families there. In 1875
he married Miss Abbie Bent, who died Sept. 9, 1897. He died
Sept. 11, 1905.
Mr. Torrey entered the service of the Boston and Providence
Railroad in 1858, in the freight department as receiving clerk : in
1860 he was transferred to the General Passenger Office ; was
made Treasurer's Clerk in 1861 : and became Treasurer in 1867.
He retired from this latter position in 1904, receiving a moderate
pension. In 1893 he became Treasurer of the Old Colony Rail-
road, and resigned his three treasurerships in 1904, on account of
failing health. Mr. Torrey had been Treasurer of the New Eng-
land Historic Genealogical Society since 1871, and a life member
since 1864. He was a member of the Society of Colonial Wars,
since 1900.
1906.] Inscriptions at Preston, Conn. 121
Inheriting his grandfather's estate, " Broad Oak," he occupied it
a number of years as a summer residence, and was a communicant
of St. Andrew's (Episcopal) Church and a frequent delegate from
Hanover Parish to Diocesan Conventions.
It is not usual for the biographer to enter the cloister walls of
home to scan the family influences which sweeten and sanctify the
family life, and in the case of Mr. Torrey these were so uniform
and pure it is a pleasure to recall the romance of the beginning,
when the young school teacher turned to the mature matron as his
ideal of a life long companion, she with maturer judgment gently
chiding his enthusiasm, and only acceding after many months' ob-
servation assured her his was no fleeting whim. The many suc-
ceeding years of happy married life were to all observers an example
that happiness is an inward state of peace, independent of all arbi-
trary conditions. Age and failing powers caused no subsidence
from the high tide of reverent affection upon which the youthful
suitor embarked.
Mr. Torrey would not have taken a degree in the modern school
of High Finance ; it was enough for him to administer faithfully the
trusts committed to his care. The modern trust, frequently very
temporary so far as the public is concerned, did not accord with his
instincts. He did not, perhaps, originate schemes of investment
for the funds in his charge, but at each scrutiny of the auditors the
interest was all there, and the trustees or directors passed no sleep-
less nights on his account, the widow or orphan awoke to no hope-
less days from his lapses from honor. We cannot doubt he will
elsewhere receive the highest award — " Thou hast been faithful,
enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
INSCRIPTIONS FROM THE LONG SOCIETY BURYING

Communicated by George S. Porter, Esq., of Norwich, Conn.
Long Society (Congregational) derived its name from its loca-
tion on the long, narrow strip of land east of the Thames and She-
tucket rivers which formed the eastern boundary of the original
town of Norwich (then nine miles square), and extended from the
present village of Poquetanuck to that of Plainfield. The church
was organized in 1726, under the pastoral care of the Rev. Jabez
Wight. The first meeting-house of the society stood where to-day
stands its successor, about three miles from the centre of the city
of Norwich. The church yard, from which many of the older
gravestones have disappeared, lies immediately in the rear and on

THE BELCHER FAMILIES IN NEW ENGLAND.
By Joseph Gardner Bartlett, Esq.
The name Belcher is of great antiquity in England, being found as
early as 1176, when Ralph Belcher was witness to a deed. (Historical
Collections of Staffordshire, Vol. 1, page 291.) The name is uncommon,
however, and is fouud mostly in the county of Warwick and the surround-
ing counties of Stafford, Worcester, Oxford, Wilts, and Northampton. One
line of the family was seated at Guilsborough in Northamptonshire for
several generations, and was lineally descended from Hugh Belcher of
Needwood, co. Stafford, who was living in the reign of Edward IV.. about
1470. This branch of the family held landed estates, and bore for arms
" Paly of six or and gules, a chief vair "; and their pedigree was entered in
the Visitation of Northamptonshire in 1619, and also in the Visitation of
Warwickshire of the same year. The will of Gregory Belcher, yeoman,
of Berkeswell, co. Warwick, dated Mar. 20, 1620, mentions wife Joane;
son Thomas Belcher ; sons-in-law John Bonney and William Cook ; daugh-
126 The Belcher Families. [April,
ters Elizabeth Cook, Isabel Bonney, and Alice Pemberton. (Putnam's His-
torical Magazine, vol. 4, page 183.) It seems likely that Thomas Belcher,
son of Gregory of this will, was the Thomas Belcher who lived in the
hamlet of Wardend, parish of Aston, co. Warwick, where he had three
children recorded: John, bapt. Aug. 24, 1C04; Gregory, bapt. Mar. 30,
1606; and Margery, bapt. July 9, 1615. Aston is about Dine miles
north-west of Berkeswell. As Gregory1 Belcher, ODe of the emigrants to
New England, in a deposition made in June, 1005, stated he was then about
sixty years of age, it seems probable that he was identical with the Greg-
ory Belcher, son of Thomas, who was born in Aston in 1606, who would
be in his sixtieth year at the time of the deposition, and of whom no further
mention appears in the Aston registers, although his brother and sister
were married there. How these Belchers of Berkeswell and Aston were
related to the armorial Belchers of Guilsborough has not been ascertained ;
but doubtless they were of the same original stock.
There were five persons named Belcher who settled in New England
before 1650, and froin two of them are descended practically all of the
name in the United States. These five emigrants, in the order of their
arrival in New England, were :
I. Mr. Edward1 Belcher, born about 1595, came to New England
in 1630 with Governor Winthrop, and was one of the founders of Boston.
He was the fourth son of William Belcher of Guilsborough, Northamp-
tonshire, England, and of positive armorial descent, but his male descendants
became extinct with his grandson.
II. Jeremy,1 or Jeremiah, Belcher, born about 1613, came to
New England in the spring of 1635 and settled in Ipswich, where he died
in March, 1692-3. He had eleven children, and his descendants are very
numerous. Nothing is known of his ancestry, but he was probably in some
degree related to the other emigrants of the name.
HI. Gregory1 Belcher, born about 1606, came to New England
about 1637 and settled in Braintree, where he died Nov. 25, 1674. He
had seven children, and many descendants live in the United States. He
was perhaps the Gregory Belcher, son of Thomas, who was baptized in
Aston, co. Warwick, England, Mar. 30, 1606, as suggested above.
IV. Andrew1 Belcher, born about 1615, son of Thomas Belcher of
London, and grandson of Robert Belcher, weaver, of Kingswood, W iltshire,
England. He first appears in New England in 1 039, and settled in Cam-
bridge. Although there was but one male who married in each generation
of his descendants, this family attained great distinction. His son Andrew2
Belcher was a Royal Councillor, and the greatest merchant of his day in
New England; his grandson Jonathan3 Belcher was Royal Governor of
Massachusetts and also of New Jersey ; his great-grandson Jonathan4
Belcher was Chief Justice and Lieut. Governor of Xova Scotia ; and his
great-great-grandson Andrew5 Belcher was a Royal Councillor of Nova
Scotia, whose children settled in England, of whom a son, Sir Edward6
Belcher, K.C.B., was a distinguished naval officer, attaining the rank of
Rear Admiral in the British navy. A few descendants remain in England,
but the name is extinct in the United States.
The descendants of Andrew1 Belcher have always used the arms of
the Belchers of Guilsborough, although their descent from that branch has
not to the writer's knowledge beeu proven. For a full account of the de-
1906.] The Belcher Families. 127
scendants of Andrew1 Belcher, see Register, ante, vol. 27, pages 239—
245.
V. Thomas1 Belcher, stated to have been in the family of Nicholas1
Frost of Kittery, as early as 1640, and to have died in 1652. (" Old Eliot,
Me," vol. 1, pages 87 and 176.) The writer has no further knowledge of
this individual, who probably died unmarried. It is a curious coincidence
that, about 1693r John8 Belcher* of Boston (Josiah2, Gregory1) deserted
his family there and went to Kittery, where he entered the service of
Charles2 Frost, son of Nicholas,1 and remained in his employ and in that
of his son and grandson for nearly forty years, until his death in 1730,
leaving his property to his last employer, Charles4 Frost.
EDWARD BELCHER OF BOSTON.
1. Mr. Edward Belcher, gent., fourth son of "William and Christian
(Dabridgecourt) Belcher of Guilsborough, Northamptonshire, England, was
born about 1595, and came to New England in the fleet with Gov- Win-
throp in 1630, and became one of the founders of Boston. His pedigree
is recorded in the Visitations of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire in
1619. Although a member of an armorial family of the landed gentry of
England, Edward1 Belcher took a very inconspicuous part in the settle-
ment of Boston, his descendants soon were reduced to very humble circum-
stances, and the family became extinct in the male line with the death of
his grandsons. He was an original member of the First Church in Boston,
and carried on the business of a pipestave culler. His houselot was located
on the north side of the present Boylston street, between Washington and
Tremont streets, and he also had a garden on the opposite side of Boyl-
ston street. In his will he calls himself " Edward Belcher, gent., of Bos-
ton, late of Guilsborough, Northamptonshire, England." As the witnesses
to the will were doubtful whether or not he was of sound mind, the will
was not allowed, and his son was appointed administrator of his estate, on
Mar. 17, 1672-3. (Suffolk Co. Probate.) The name of his first wife,
whom he married in England; has not been discovered. He married sec-
ond, in Boston, about 1650, Christian, sister of William Talmage and
widow of William Woman, Wormwood, or Wornal. She was admitted to
the First Church on Apr. 4, 1646, being then wife of Wormwood, by whom
she had two daughters : Mary, born about 1635, who married her step-
brother Edward2 Belcher, Jr. ; and Anne, born about 1638, who married,
in 1658, Samuel Flack of Boston. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 21, page 647.)
Child of Edward1 Belcher, by first wife :
2. i. Edward,2 b. about 1627.
2. Edward2 Belcher (Edward1), born in England, about 1627, came
in childhood to Boston, where he became a shipwright. On Apr.
30, 1670, he and his wife were deeded, by his father, Edward1
Belcher, one-half of the latter's real estate. (Suffolk Co. Deeds,
vol. 7, page 199.) In 1693, Edward2 Belcher conveyed this estate
to his sons-in-law Mark Pilkington and Edward Kettow, although
these deeds were not recorded until Mar. 12, 1713, about which
• The suggestion in "Old Eliot," vol. 1, page 87, that this John Belcher was
grandson of Thomas1 above mentioned, is certainly erroneous. Perhaps Thomas'
Belcher of Kittery was a brother of Gregory1 of Braintree, and so grand-uncle of
John3 of Kittery.

time it is presumed Edward2 Belcher died. (Suffolk Co. Deeds,
vol. 16, page 176, and vol. 28, page 24.)
He married first, Jan. 8, 1655-6, his 6tep-sister Mary,2 born
about 1635, daughter of William and Christian (Talmage) Worm-
wood of Boston, who died Mar. 21, 1693; and married second,
June 24,- 1708, when about eighty years of age, Abigail, daughter
of Roger and Ruth (Stackhouse) Haskins of Beverly, and widow
of John Swarton. She married third, Nathaniel Clark of Beverly,
and died about 1730, having had no children by any of her hus-
bands.
Children by first wife :

July 31, 1670; took the oath of allegiance, Apr. 21, 1G79; no fur-

now exist of Edward1 Belcher of Boston derive their descent
through the daughters of Mark and Faith (Belcher) Pilkington.

GREGORY BELCHER OF BRAINTREE.
1. Gregory1 Belcher, born about 1606, was in New England as
early as 1637, and on Dec. 30, 1639, was granted a lot of 52 acres at
Mount Wollaston (Braintree), for thirteen heads, paying three shillings
per acre for the same. (Boston Town Records.) Here he settled, was
admitted freeman on May 13, 1640, and was made selectman in 1646.
He deposed in June, 1665, aged about 60 years. (Essex Co. Court Files.)
By occupation he was a farmer. On July 14, 1664, he purchased of John
Smith 9 acres of land in Milton, which he gave to his son Joseph Bel-
cher for a marriage portion. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 4, page 204a.)
On Jan. 6, 1657-8, he obtained a lease of the Salter farm in Braintree,
from the estate of William Tyng of Boston; and on Jan. 15, 1666-7,
Gregory Belcher and others bought the Salter farm for £1900. Belcher's
interest being one-eighth. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 5, page 229.) On
Mar. 26, 1670, Gregory Belcher and his son-in-law Alexander Marsh
purchased the iron works, with 200 acres of land, in Braintree : and on
May 18, 1671, the same parties bought 40 acres in Braintree plain of
Henry Crane. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 7, page 172.)
He died Nov. 25, 1674. The inventory of his estate, showing a total of
£629-5-0, was presented by his widow, Jan. 29, 1674-5. (Suffolk Co. Pro-
bate.) His wife Catherine survived him, and died in the spring of 1680.
Her will, dated Sept. 3, 1679, proved July 20, 1680, gives to son Josiah a
cow " if he molest not my son Moses in his present dwelling and posses-
sions " ; to son John a cow and a horse ; to daughters Elizabeth Gilbert
and Mary Marsh, and granddaughter Mary Marsh, some household effects ;
" to son Moses (who hath all his life carried himself so dutifully to myself
1906.] The Belcher Families. 129
and his father) the great bible and the whole house and land he now pos-
sesses which I declare his father gave him." Sons Moses Belcher and
Alexander Marsh executors.
On July 9, 1680, Josiah Belcher of Boston entered a caveat against the
probate of any will said to be made by his late mother, Catherine Belcher
of Braintree, widow, deceased, until he be present. (Suffolk Co. Probate.)
It does not appear, however, that any contest was made over the estate.
Children :
i. Elizabeth,2 m. Thomas Gilbert, who was in Braintree in 1646.
(Mass. Colonial Records, vol. iii, page 67.) Evidently he was the
" goodman Gilbert" mentioned in Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 5, page
527, who owned land in Braintree in 1668, adjoining land of
Thomas Gatlive, whose widow, Prudence, was a witness to the
will of widow Catherine1 Belcher.

vi. Mary, b. July 8, 1639; m. Dec. 19, 1655, Alexander Marsh of
Braintree.
6. vii. Joseph, b. Dec. 25, 1641.
2. Josiah2 Belcher {Gregory1), born in 1631, was a wheelwright,
and settled in Boston, where he acquired an estate on the south-
easterly corner of what is now Essex street and Harrison avenue,
measuring 126 feet on Essex street, and running back 285 feet to
the water. After the death of his widow, a partition was made of
this estate among his surviving children, on Sept. 20, 1G93, which
is described and recorded in Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 19, page 158.
Further deeds in relation to this property show that all his sons,
except John and Benjamin, died without issue, and apparently un- /
married, and that the daughter Dorothy died without issue soon
after her marriage. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 40, page 225 ; vol. 41,
page 210; vol. 46, page 90 ; and vol. 41, page 212.) /
He was one of the founders of the third, or Old South, Church, ;
and died Apr. 3, 1683, aged 52, being buried in the Granary bury-
ing ground, where his gravestone still remains. His will, made
the day of his decease, names wife Ranis, sons John, Jonathan,
Joseph, Edward, Nathan and Benjamin, and daughters Elizabeth,
Rebecca, Anna, Dorothy, Abigail, and Ruth. (Suffolk Co. Pro-
bate.) He married, Mar. 3, 1654-5, Ranis,2 born June 4, 1638,
daughter of Elder Edward1 and Elizabeth Rainsford of Boston.
She died Oct, 2, 1691.
Children :

the Xarraganset campaign in King Pbilip's War, and took part in
the Great Swamp Fight, Dec. 19, 1675. He died unmarried, and
was evidently the Josiah Belcher who was drowned at Weymouth
in the autumn of 1682, as mentioned in Judee Sewall's diary
(vol. 2, page 19*).
ii. John, b. Oct. 9, 1657: d. in infancy.

his interest in the paternal estate to his brother Edward, Nov. 22,
1693. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 16, page 220, and vol. 40, page
225.) He died soon after, unmarried,

J garrisons at Northampton, Milton and Medfield. He died intestate
in 1693, leaving a very small estate, his son Josiah8 Belcher being
appointed administrator, Nov. 16, 1693. The inventory of the es-
tate, valued at only £27-7-0, mentions " a poore house and ten
acres of land, a piece of salt marsh, a' little poore household
goods, and an old spitt." (Suffolk Co. Probate.) He married,
about 1655, Sarah , who survived him.

4. Moses2 Belcher (Gregory1), born about 1635, was a husbandman,
and resided in Braintree, inheriting his father's homestead. He is
called " Corporal" Belcher on the records. He died July 5, 1691,
and in his will, dated three days before, he mentions his wife ;
daughter Mary Bass ; other daughters to have portions equal to that
given to Mary; 6on Moses (then under age) to have the whole
homestead ; brother Alexander Marsh and cousin Joseph Belcher
overseers; wife sole executor. (Suffolk Co. Probate.)
He married, May 23, 1666. Mary Nash, probably a daughter of
James and Alice Nash of Weymouth, Mass., as Moses Belcher was
a witness on a deed made by them, May 22, 1666, the day before
his marriage. (Suffolk Co Deeds, vol. 5, page 82.)
On Dec. 30, 1707, Mary Belcher, widow, and Anna Belcher,
spinster, Moses Belcher, Joseph Bass, Ichabod Allen and Elizabeth
his wife, Jabez Athern and Katherine his wife, and Joseph Brackett
and Mehitable his wife, being all the children of Moses and Mary
Belcher, conveyed land of said Moses deceased. (Suffolk Deeds,

5. Samuel2 Belcher (Gregory*), born Aug. 24, 1637, resided in
Braintree, where he died June 17, 1679. On May 6, 1680, ad-
ministration on his estate was granted " to Roger Billing, Alexander
March, and Moses Belcher- his father-in-law and two of his brothers."
(Suffolk Co. Probate.) The inventory was £576-17-6. On Mar.
4, 1696, Thomas French and Elizabeth his wife conveyed to their
brother Gregory Belcher their interest in the estate of their father
Samuel Belcher. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 41, page 249.) On the
same day, John Sanders of Westerly and Silence his wife conveyed
their interest in the estate of their father Samuel Belcher. (Suffolk
Oo. Deeds, vol. 41, page 250.) On Sept. 21, 1693, Moses Belcher
of Dorchester conveyed his interest in the estate of his father,
Samuel Belcher, to his brother Gregory (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 41,
page 252). On Aug. 8, 1727, William Wattle and Abigail his wife,
of Lebanon, Conn., conveyed to their brother Samuel Belcher their
interest in the estate of their late mother Niles, deceased, in the
estate of her former husband Samuel Belcher. (Suffolk Co. Deeds,
vol. 41, page 253.) Samuel'2 Belcher married, Dec. 15, 1663, Mary,
daughter of Roger Billings of Dorchester, Mass. She married sec-
ond, Apr. 20, 1680, Samuel Niles of Braintree.

was given by his father 9 acres of land in Milton, where he set-
tled (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. iv., page 204). His wife Rebecca
was sole heiress to large tracts of land in Dorchester and Milton,
from the estate of her father ; but evidently incompatibility made
their domestic life unhappy, causing a temporary separation and a

summons before the General Court. By the efforts of friends, how-
ever, a reconciliation was effected. (Dedham Historical Register,
vol. 12, page 41.) On the breaking out of King Philip's "War,
Joseph Belcher served as quartermaster in the cavalry troop of Capt.
Thomas Prentice in the first expedition against King Philip at Mt.
Hope, and in a skirmish with the Indians at Swansey, on June 28,
1675, he distinguished himself by great bravery, being badly
wounded in the knee, and having his horse shot under him. He
died about 1678, the inventory of his estate, amounting to £472—4—9,
being presented on Feb. 7, 1678-9. (Suffolk Co. Probate, vol. 12,
page 318.) He married, in 1664, Rebecca,2 baptized July 7, 1650,
daughter of John1 and Ann Gill of Dorchester.

vii. Gill, b. Sept. 22, 1678; was a sea captain in Boston, where he
married, Sept. 21, 1702, Mary Howard. On Oct. 26, 1702, he gave
power of attorney to his wife to dispose of his property, and on
Sept. 3, 1703, she mortgaged his property in Boston. (Suffolk
Co. Deeds, vol. 21, page 376.) On Feb. 6, 1705-6, Samuel Sew-
all sent a letter to Rev. Joseph Lord in Dorchester, South Caro-
lina, by Capt. Gill Belcher. (6 Mass. Hist. Society Coll., vol.
I, page 324.) No further trace of Gill Belcher has been found in
New England ; and he may have settled in South Carolina or been
lost at sea. One Mary Belcher, possibly his widow, m. in Bos-
ton, June 7, 1716, John Flagg. In 1765, a Gill Belcher of Hebron,
Conn., perhaps a grandson of Capt. Gill,3 bought land in Great
Barrington, Mass.
7. John8 Belcher (Josiah,2 Gregory1), born in Boston, Dec. 23, 1659,
was baptized in the First Church, April 3, 1664, and admitted to
the Old South Church, Apr. 30, 1680. By occupation he was a
ship carpenter. In 1690 he was in the military service and sta-
tioned at Kittery, Me., and was dismissed and sent home on Nov.
9 of that year. (Me. Hist. Coll. Series 2, vol. 5, page 160.) He
resided in Boston until about 1693, when he went to Kittery, Me.,
and entered the employ of the Frost family, who were extensive
shipbuilders, where he continued until his death in 1730. His
will, dated Feb. 17, 1729-30, calls himself " John Belcher, joiner, of
Kittery, eldest son of Josiah Belcher of Boston," and states he has
lived with the Frosts for near about forty years and none of his
relatives have assisted him, and therefore he leaves all his property
to Charles Frost. (York Wills, vol. 4, page 130; also Suffolk
Co. Deeds, vol. 46, page 90.) Presumably it was this John8 Belcher
who married Theodora , in 1688, and had two children bap-
tized in the Old South Church in Boston. He evidently deserted
his family when he went to Maine in 1693, as his wife Theodora
remained in Boston and married second, Dec. 9, 1698, Simon Lee,
married third, Nov. 20, 1700, William Darnton, and married fourth,
Sept. 13, 1709, Francis Pomeroy.

(Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 41, page 210.) He was admitted freeman ,
of R. I., May 6, 1707, and died about 1719. The information
herein given of his descendants needs further verification. He mar-
ried first, Phebe , who died after 1711 ; and married second,

9. Joseph8 Belcher (John,2 Gregory1) was born Feb. 23, 1660-1,
and after his birth record, appears no further in any town, church,
deed, or probate record that has been found by the writer. Never-
theless, it appears he had a family, as in the diary of John Marshall
of Braintree is the following entry : " Joseph Belcher's child died
Mar. 8, 1700-1." On Mar. 20, 1726, Joseph Belcher and his son,
from Braintree, were warned from Boston. (Boston Record Com.
Report, No. 13, page 154.)
It seems likely that he was father of the following Belchers who
cannot otherwise be placed :
i. Mercy, m. in Boston, Nov. 11, 1709, Benjamin Johns,
ii. Hannah, m. in Boston, May 25, 1713, Anthony Ennis.
ii. Elizabeth, m. in Boston, Jan. 4, 1715-16, Alexander Fullerton.
Possibly, however, she was dau. of Josiah3 Belcher,
iv. Mary Belcher, m. in Boston, June 7, 1716, John Flagg (then in
middle life) , as his second wife. But possibly she was the widow
of Gill3 Belcher as previously suggested.
v. A son, perhaps the Joseph Belcher, seaman, on ship " King George"
in 1758, referred to under Josiah3 Belcher.
10. Josiah8 Belcher (John,2 Gregory1), born in Braintree, June 26,
1669, was a cordwainer, and lived in Braintree until Jan., 1713—
14, when he went to Watertown, from whence he was warned two
months afterwards. Later we find him in Boston, being warned from
there before July 29, 1723. He then lived at Marblehead for a
short time, but returned soon to Boston, he and his wife and two
sons being warned in Boston on May 22, 1725. He remained,
nevertheless, and on Feb. 25, 1726, bought of Thomas Bill (presu-
mably his son-in-law) a portion of the dwelling house of the latter
in Blackhorse lane, which he and his wife Margaret sold back to
Thomas Bill, on Jan. 5, 1729-30. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 40,
134 The Belcher Families. [April,
r page 266, and vol. 44, page 47.) This deal was probably for the
purpose of securing a residence for Josiah and Margaret Belcher
with their daughter Ruth Bill in Boston, free from the molestations
of the authorities. In 1734, Josiah Belcher was refused a liquor
license. No further record appears of him. He married Margaret,
born May 11, 1670, daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth (Ladd)
Hayden of Braintree.
Children :

ii. Elizabeth, b. May 25, 1G97; perhaps m. Jan. 4, 1715-16, Alexander

shipwright, of Boston.

who served as seaman on the ship " King George," from Mar. 15
to Oct. 21, 1758; no further record.
11. Moses8 Belcher (Moses,2 Gregory1), born in Braintree in 1674, in-
herited the farm occupied by his father and grandfather, and resided
in Braintree until his death, about 1745. He was called " Sr."
on the records, to distinguish him from his cousin Moses4 Belcher
(born in 1692, son of Samuel8). Moses Belcher, Sr., held numerous
minor town offices, such as fence viewer, constable, hogreive, and
surveyor of highways, between the years 1712 and 1733. His
name occurs in several land transactions, but no probate records
of his estate appear. He married first, May 20, 1715, Anne, born
about 1696, daughter of Samuel and Anne (Clay) Sarson of Mar-
tha's Vineyard, who died Jan. 28, 1721-2, having had three chil-
dren ; and married second, Jan. 3, 1726-7, Alice, born June 9, 1698,
daughter of Dr. John and Sarah (Xewton) Wilson of Braintree, and
great-granddaughter of Rev. John "Wilson, first pastor of the First
Church in Boston. She died without issue, in 1754.
Children by first wife :

wife, Maj. Joseph Crosby of Braintree.

12. Dea. Gregory3 Belcher (Samuel,1 Gregory1), born in Braintree,
Feb. 28, 1664-5, always resided there, where he held many minor
town offices, and was deacon in the church for many years. Besides
carrying on farming, he also followed the occupation of shipwright
and carpenter. He was killed in an accident, by a plough, July 4,
1727. He married, Mar. 25, 1689-90, Elizabeth, born in 1(369,
daughter of John and Rebecca (Farnsworth) Rugbies of Braintree,
who died Nov. 22, 1748.

offices, and died Dec. 19, 1714. He married, in 1688, Comfort,
born in 1666, daughter of John and Jael (Thayer) Harbour of
Braintree and Mendon. (Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 17, page 216.)

his wife were admitted to the Milton Church, Jan. 19, 1695-6, and
dismissed to the second Preston church, Nov. 13, 1720, where he
was elected one of the first deacons. In 1721, he represented Pres-
ton in the Connecticut General Assembly. On Sept. 12, 1729,
Hannah Belcher, widow, William Belcher. Elijah Belcher, Stephen
Tucker and Hannah his wife, all of Preston, Conn., and Ebenezer

youth inherited a considerable estate for those times, which enabled
him to obtain a liberal education at Harvard College, where he was
graduated in 1690. He then studied for the ministry, and began to
preach in Dedham, in the spring of 1692, which resulted in a per-
manent call, and he was ordained and settled there on Nov. 29, 1693.
He remained pastor there for nearly 30 years, until the autumn of
1721, when he was incapacitated by a paralytic shock, and was re-
moved to the house of his son-in-law Rev. Thomas Walter, in Rox-
bury, to be under the care of his brother-in-law Dr. Philip Tompson,
where he died Apr. 27, 1723. His portrait in oil hangs in the
First Church in Dedham.
He married, Mar. 8, 1693-4, Abigail, born Nov. 25, 1670, daugh-
ter of Benjamin and Susanna (Kirkland) Tompson, whose father
was a graduate of Harvard College, and for many years taught
school and practiced medicine in Roxbury and Braintree, and also
was noted as a poet and philosopher. She survived her husband.

ESDRAS READE.
By Charles French Read, Esq., of Boston.
Among the great company of English people who joined in the
Puritan movement which settled at the Massachusetts Bay early in the
seventeenth century, the name of Esdras Reade finds a place, and
it seems proper to publish this brief biography of him, that coming
generations of his descendants may study the life of their first
American ancestor of the name.
The earliest mention of Esdras Reade, which I have as yet found,
is in the Records of the Town of Boston, under date of December
24, 1638. The entry reads that "Esdras Reade, a Taylor, is this
day allowed to bee an Inhabitant and to have a great lot at Muddy
River for 4 heads." Muddy River was then a part of Boston, and
in 1705 became the present town of Brookline. But evidently con-
ditions in Muddy River were not satisfactory to Esdras Reade,
owing possibly to the fact that the hamlet was four miles from Bos-
ton, for we find that after a stay of a few weeks he removed to
Salem, Mass., the records of that town telling us, under date of
February 25, 1639, that "Esdras Reade is receaved to be an in-
hattant at the towne of Salem."
He received grants of land from the town, joined, with his wife
Alice, the First Church of Salem, and was made a freeman of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony, June 2, 1641. While a resident of
Salem, his two children, Obadiah and Bethiah, the only ones he
had, were baptized in the First Church, the record being "1640 31
3 Two children of Esdras Reade."
It is evident that the migratory habits of our ancestors of the
seventeenth century fastened themselves upon the subject of this
sketch, for in 1644, Esdras Reade with other members of the Salem
church, including the pastor, Rev. John Fiske, founded the town
of Wenham, Mass., which was called, Before its incorporation,
Enon, meaning much water.
While a resident of Wenham, he was a leading citizen of the
town. Having, with his wife, become a member of the First
Church of Wenham, when it was organized October 8, 1644, he
was elected the first deacon, and he also represented the town in
the General Court in the years 1648 and 1651.
A few years later brought another change of residence, for in
1655 he was one of the founders of the town of Chelmsford, Mass.
A recital of the proceedings which led to the settlement of the new
town may be interesting.
To quote from a history of Middlesex County :
In September, 1654, propdsitions were made to Rev. John Fiske
and his church in Wenham to remove to Chelmsford, Mass., and
the account of the proceedings which resulted in their removal
138 Esdras Meade. [April,
there is preserved in the handwriting of Mr. Fiske. It is written
in the quaint diction of the time, and reads as follows : " A day
was set of meeting at Chelmsford. Upon the said day set divers
of ye brethren accompanied ye pastor over unto Chelmsford where
ye committee and divers others were present. A view was taken
of ye place. The brethren present satisfied themselves about their
accommodations, and proposals were then made to ye pastor for
his accommodation and yearly maintenance, as to be tendered unto
him by consent of ye whole of inhabitants and in the name of ye
committee."
Soon after their return to Wenham, the larger part of the church,
with their pastor, decided to accept Chelmsford's proposals. But
at this time the proceedings were discontinued. We now return to
Mr. Fiske's account. "Thus the matter lay dormant as 'twere all
winter, until ye first month '55 at which time Brother Reade coming
over, enformed us in such wise here at Wenham, as thereupon ye
paster and ye said engaged brethren demurred upon ye proceedings,
and some that had sold here at Wenham redeemed their accommo-
dations again into their possession and a letter was suitably sent by
Brother Reade to acquaint ye Chelmsford committee how things
stood, and advised to stead themselves elsewhere."
The matter was not abandoned. Several letters passed between
the parties. In June, 1655, a committee went with letters for
Chelmsford, " with full power to then and there to treat and finalls
to determine the business between both parties. The matter way
referred to counsel. This case thus determined on either side,
preparations were made for ye removal of ye church. Accordingly
about ye 13th of ye 9th month '55 there were met at Chelmsford, ye
pastor with ye engaged brethren of Wenham, seven in all, to whom
such of the brethren of Woburne and Concord churches late at
Wenham presented themselves and testimony given, were by a unani-
mous vote received in fellowship."
At the first town meeting in Chelmsford, held November 22,
1655, Esdras Reade was elected one of a "committee to officiate in
ordering the publick affaires."
Three years later found him again on the move, for in 1658 he
came to live in Boston a second time ; and two years later, in 1660,
the records of Chelmsford tell us that " John Webb is admitted to
purchase all the rights and privileges granted by the town of
Chelmsford to Esdras Reade." He joined with his wife, possibly a
second one, the Second Church of Boston, August 4, 1661.
Nine years later he was living in Woburn, Mass., for in the deed
of a sale of land which he made in 1670, he calls himself "Esdras
Reade, Taylor of Woburn." But by the following year he had be-
come a resident of Boston for the third time, as is shown in another
deed, and he apparently lived there continuously until his death in
1680.

It is probable that his home was situated at the intersection of the
thoroughfares which we call to-day Salem and Prince Streets. He
sold this estate, January 12, 1674, to Samuel Brackenbury, physi-
cian, for the sum of £132, and the deed of sale gives the location
as " at the intersection of a street that leads from the Second Meet-
ing House in Boston towards Century Haven and a lane that leads
from the said street towards Winnissirnmet Ferry Place."
Esdras Reade, and here I quote the inscription on the gravestone
of another ancestor, " after he had served his generation, by the will
of God, fell on sleep" in Boston, July 27, 1680, at the advanced age
of eighty-five years. He lies buried in Copp's Hill Burying Ground,
Boston, and ovej; his grave is to be seen to-day the double grave-
stone of himself and his second wife Sarah. It is inscribed in part :
"Here lyeth buried | ye boddy of | Esdras Reade aged | 85 Years
Died | July ye 27 | 1680."
He died intestate, and his small estate was administered by his
son, Obadiah Read. The inventory of his property shows that he
was, until his death, engaged in making a living by his trade, and
he was possessed of a complement of tailor's tools.
And so we take leave of Esdras Read, taylor. , When he came
to the now great city of Boston, in 1638, it was a hamlet of about
thirty families.
During his life, the Colonies of Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth
were united in one, and seventy towns were incorporated by the
General Court. He saw the persecution of the Quakers, and the
havoc caused by King Philip's "War. The closing years of his life
were passed amid the political disturbances which resulted, four
years after his death, in the annulment of the Charter of Massa-
chusetts Bay by King Charles the Second.

FRANCIS WEST OF DUXBURY, MASS., AND SOME OF
HIS DESCENDANTS.
By Edward E. Cornwall, M.D , of Brooklyn, N. T.
1. " Francis West, a house carpenter by trade, being a single man,
invited by a Mr. Thomas of Marshfield, Massachusetts, left the town of
Salisbury in England and came to N. England, and settled in Duxbury,
Mass., and married Margrey Reeves, by whom he had five children, viz.,
Samuel, Thomas, Peter, Mary and Ruth." So wrote Judge Zebulon West
(1707-1770), a great-grandson of the emigrant, who probably learned
these facts from his father, also named Francis (1669-1731), who lived
with the emigrant in Duxbur)- until he grew up.
Francis West married Margaret Reeves, .in Duxbury, Feb. 27, 1639,
and died in that town, Jan. 2, 1692, aged 86. He is spoken of as a car-
penter in the Duxbury records, and the Plymouth Colony records show
that he made a pair of stocks for the town of Duxbury in 1640. In 1610
and 1642 he was a member of the Grand Jury ; in 1642 he bought a house
and land in Duxbury (Millbrook) ; and in 1643 he was on the list of those
able to bear arms. He was admitted freeman in Plymouth Colony in 1656.
In 1658 he was surveyor of highways in Duxbury; constable in 1661 ; and
in 1662, '69, '74, '78, '80 and %1 was a member of the " Grand Enquest."
During the last years of his life his son Peter took care of him, and his
estate, which amounted to only £16: 15 : 00, was given to Peter by the
Probate Court.

he was dismissed in 1702. His will, dated Jan. 15, 1697/8, men-

152 Fairbanks Marriages. [April,
FAIRBANKS MARRIAGES IN THE PARISH OF HALI-
FAX, WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND.
From 1538 to 1624.
Communicated by Rev. Hiram Francis Fairbanks, of Milwaukee, Wis.
Inasmuch as several early American emigrants came from the
above named parish, this list may prove interesting.
The Fairbank, or Fairbanks, family was probably in this parish as
early as 450 years ago. The earliest will, that of Richard of Hep-
tonstall, in 1517, says his father lived, and he was born, in Kendall
of Westmoreland. John Fairbank of Sowerby in 1517 was prob-
ably a brother of Richard, and Edmund Fairbank of Heptonstall
was very likely his uncle. Edmund, who made his will in 1533,
was probably born about 1460 or earlier. He seems to have been
a man of considerable local importance. Two of his sons, Sir
William and Sir George, were priests, and he had helped found a
chapel. He seems to have had a chaplain, Sir John Grenwood ;
and to have possessed considerable land and money. He willed two
" Macers," doubtless the symbol of some authority.

tized in the great parish church of Halifax, most of them having been
born in Warley, which adjoins Sowerby, although Mary and George were
born in Shelf, which is to the northeast of Halifax. All these townships
are in the parish of Halifax. George Fayrbanke of Sowerby, who was
churchwarden in 1612, and who died in 1620, was evidently a near rela-
tive of this Jonathan, for all his children had the same names as those of
the emigrant. His son Jonathan graduated from Brazenose College, Ox-
ford, and became Protestant Vicar of Bingley, Yorkshire, where he re-
mained until more than eighty years of age.)

EDGARTOWN, MASS., CHURCH RECORD.
Communicated by Miss Mittie Belcher Fairbanks, of Boston.
The following entry in the records of the old Congregational
Church at Edgartown, Mass., seems worthy of preservation in
print.
" Records of the Church of Christ in Edgartown Mass. (M. V.) (Or-
ganized 1641) From 1717 to the Reorganization in 1827. [With some
additional Records.]
[Previous History]
Finding no Record of the Church previous to the year 1717 I thought
expedient here to infert the Account 'the Revrd Experience Mayhew
gives vs of the firft Settlement of the Church He tells us that the same
Year that is the first year the first Inhabitants came to this Island a Church
was gathered (which was in 1641) & that the Revrd Mr. Thomas Mayhew
was ordained Paftor of it. he was lost in a Voiage to England in the year
1657 He speaks of the Lofs of Mr Mayhew so great to the whole Lfland
both Natives & Englifh. It was many years before there was another Min-
ifter settled in the Place. The Revd Mr Jonathan Dun-
ham being the next. I find no account in what year that chh Records of
took Place the Rev*1 Samuel Wiswall was ordained as a Plimouth that M*
Colleague with Mr Dunham in 1713, he died in 1746. SSramonftS
The Revd John Newman was ordained in 1747 he was 1694 & was or-
difmifsed in 1758. The Revd Samuel Kingsbury was or- f^ChhhereT of
dained 1761, he died in 1778. The Revd Joseph Thax-
ter was ordained 1780 Nov. 8th. I find on the old Records of the town
that iu Feb 1664 the Town invited Mr. John Colton to preach with them
& to give him Forty Pounds a year I find that the 24 of May 1665 He
accepted the Invitation there is no Record of his ordination or of the
Time he continued among- them. I believe it is a Fact that Governor May-
hew labored among the Indians & white people after the Death of his Son
till a short Time before his Death Governor Mayhew died 1681 In the
160
Passenger Lists to America.
[April,
94 Year of his age a short Biography of his Life informs us that after
the Death of his son He preached to the white People & to the Indians &
that at 70 years of age he travelled 20 miles thro' the "Woods which might
be from Edgartown to Gay Head to preach to the Indians & as there was
no English House to lodge in He lodged in their Wigwams as mate. He
continued his Labours till a short Time before his Death & retained his
Reason & memory to the lait what missionaries with all their pecuniary
Rewards ever performed so much for the Glory of God & the Good of the
natives as Governor Mayhew & his son did without Fee or Reward Great
is their Reward in Heaven [Jos. Thaxter.]"

RICHARD SCOTT AND HIS WIFE CATHARINE .MAR-
BURY, AND SOME OF THEIR DESCENDANTS.
By Stephen F. Peckham, Esq., of New York City.
Richard2 Scott was the son of PMward1 and Sarah (Carter) Scott,
and was born at Glemsford, Suffolk, England, in 1607. Edward Scott
was of the Scotts of Scott's Hall in Kent,* who traced their lineage through
John Baliol to the early Kings of Scotland. Richard Scott's wife was
Catharine,f daughter of Rev. Francis Marbury and his wife Bridget Dry-
den, daughter of John Dryden, Esq., and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of
Sir John Cope. Col. Joseph L. Chester says (ante, vol. xx., p. 367) " It
will be seen therefore that Ann Marbury Hutchinson, by both parents, de-
scended from gentle and heraldic families of England." Of course the
same could be said of her sister Catharine, and of her husband.
Richard Scott aud his wife probably came to New England with the
Hutchinson party on the Griffin in 1634. Winthrop writes, "Nov. 24,
1634, one Scott and Eliot of Ipswich, was lost in their way homewards
and wandered up and down six days and eat nothing. At length they
were found by an Indian, being almost senseless for want of rest." But
if this refers to Richard Scott, he might have come in Winthrop's party.
Richard Scott was admitted a member of the Boston Church, Aug. 28,
1634. He next appears of record at the trial of his sister-in-law Ann
Hutchinson, March 22, 1638, when he said, " I desire to propound this one
scruple, wch keepes me that I cannot so freely in my spirit give way to
excommunication whither it was not better to give her a little time to con-
sider of the things that is ... . vised against her, because she is not yet con-
vinced of her Lye and so things is with her in Distraction, aud she cannot
recollect her thoughts."
He next appears in Providence. What was then included in the " Prov-
idence Plantations " is now embraced in the towns of Woonsocket west of
the river, North Smithfield, Smithfield, Lincoln, North Providence, Johns-
ton, Providence and Cranston. Before 1700, the settlements centered in
*In the Register, vol. xxxi., p. 345, will be found a review of "Memorials of the
family of Scott of Scott's Hall in the County of Kent," by James Renat Scott, Lon-
don, 1876.
t In the Register, vol. xx., page 355, in an article on the Hutchinson Family, there is
much relating to Ann Marbury Hutchinson, and incidentally to her sister Catharine
Marbury Scott. In vol. xxi., p. 283, is an account of the Marbury Family with the will
of the Rev. Francis Marbury. In vol. xxii., p. 13, is the pedigree of Richard Scott,
the article containing much that later researches have proved to be erroneous and
reaching conclusions wholly erroneous. In vol. xxiii., p. 121, is an article on the an-
tiquity of the name of Scott. In vol. li., p. 254,-will be found the will of George Scott
of London, England, a brother of Richard Scott, which furnishes absolute proof of the
ancestry of Richard Scott.

what is now the city of Providence, with farms extending north up the val-
ley of the Blackstone river, west of Pawtucket and Lonsdale. Cumberland
was then a part of the Massachusetts town of Rehoboth.
There is no record evidence of the time when Richard Scott first ap-
peared at Providence. Familiar as I have been from childhood with the
Blackstone valley, and after a careful study of the subject for many years,
I have reached the conclusion that a mistake has been made in identifying
Providence with Moshasuck. I believe that the latter settlement; while
within the original limits of Providence, as first laid out, was about a mile
west of Lonsdale, and a short distance west of Scott's Pond, where Richard
Scott, Thomas Arnold, Thomas Harris, Christopher Smith, and others who
became Quakers, made a settlement, which was begun before Roger Williams
planted at the spring, the water of which still flows into a trough on Canal
Street in the city of Providence. At Moshasuck, Richard Scott owned a
very large tract of land, some of which remained in his descendants for 200
years, which included what is now Saylesville and Lonsdale and the land
between them and around Scott's Pond. It became the Quaker settlement,
as distinguished from the Baptist settlement at the head of Narragansett
Bay.
The first document to which Richard Scott affixed his signature was the
so-called Providence Compact,* which is pasted on to the first page of the
earliest book of Records of the city of Providence. It is stated that when
these records were copied in 1800, there was opposite the page on which
the famous compact is inscribed an entry bearing date August 20, 1637.
This date has been assumed to be the date on which the compact was signed.
Until I obtained a photograph of this instrument, I supposed it was drawn
up by Roger Williams and signed by the then citizens of Providence, but
it is in the handwriting of Richard Scott, who was the first to sign it. He
also signed for William Reynolds and John Field, who made their marks.
Then, using the same ink, Chad Browne, John Warner and George Ric-
card signed. Then, using another ink that has faded, Edward Cope, Thomas
Angell, Thomas Harris, Francis Weekes, Benedict Arnold, Joshua Winsor,
and William Wickenden signed. Here are thirteen names, but not the names
of the thirteen proprietors of the town of Providence, nor one of them.
It appears to me as almost certain that William Arnold and others had
located at Pautuxet, and Richard Scott and others had located at Mosha-
suck, before Roger Williams and others crossed over from Seckonk, in
June, 1636, began building near where St. John's church now stands in
Providence, and named the settlement Providence. It is equally certain
that Roger Williams secured from the Indians a deed that covered, or was
afterwards made to cover, the land on which William Arnold and Richard
Scott had located, thus sowing the seed for the perpetual feuds that existed
between Roger Williams and his " louing ffriends and Neighbors." In
1637, Richard Scott went to Boston and married Catharine Marbury. Re-
turning to his home in Providence in March, 1633, he drew up and signed
the celebrated compact, expecting that Roger Williams and his fellow suf-
ferers, fleeing from the persecution of the triumphant Boston party, would
all sign it, and thus found a commonwealth absolutely divested of the
theocratic principle. In this he was mistaken. William Arnold, and his
party, were joined by Stukeley Westcott, Thomas Olney, Francis Weston,
and Richard Waterman, who had been banished from Salem, and they
forced or persuaded Roger Williams, October 6, 1638, to deed to them an

undivided interest in the town of Providence. In this, Bichard Scott and
his friends who signed the compact had no share. Finally, those who
signed the compact and those who were grantees under the deed from Roger
Williams, with others who had arrived meantime, joined in an arrangement
by which they became " Purchasers of Providence." Under this agree-
ment, the neck between Providence harbor and the Blackstone river was
divided into town lots and distributed to 54 purchasers, of which Richard
Scott was one. His lot was next north of Roger "Williams, and extended
up over the hill north of Bowen Street.
The conclusion therefore is inevitable, that whatever credit beloDgs to
the author of this celebrated instrument belongs to Richard Scott alone,
and that Roger Williams not only had nothing to do with it, but refused to
sign it. It reads as follows :
" We whofe names are hereunder defirous to iuhabitt in ye towne of proui-
dence do promife to fubiect ourselves in actiue or paffiue obedience to all fuch
orders or agreements as f hall be made for publick good of or body in an or-
derly way by the maior coufent of the prefent Inhabitants maifters of families
Incorporated together into a towne fellowfhip and others whom they fhall ad-
mitt into them
only in ciuill things."
January 16, 1638, Winthrop notes, "At Providence things grow still
worse ; for a sister of Mrs. Hutchinson, the wife of one Scott, being infected
with Anabaptistry, and going last year to live in Providence, Mr. Williams
was taken (or rather emboldened) by her to make open professson thereof,
and accordingly was rebaptized .by one Holyman, a poor man late of Sa-
lem." There is no other evidence that Catharine Scott had, or wished to
have, any influence upon Roger Williams. They never agreed, and upon
two occasions Roger Williams had her, with other wives of his neighbors,
arrested, but he did not carry his suits to a conclusion before the Court.
On the 27th of 5th month 1640, Robert Coles, Chad Browne, William
Harris, and John Warner, were chosen Arbitrators to draw up what is
known as the " Combination," which is a sort of agreement for arbitration
for the adjustment of differences between " louing ffrieuds and Neigh-
bours." Two of these arbitrators signed the compact, and two were gran-
tees under the deed from Roger Williams, and the agreement adjusted dif-
ferences between the Pawtuxet men, the Providence men, and the Mosha-
suck men. The Combination was signed by 12 who signed the compact,
by Roger Williams and 8 grantees under the deed, and 18 others. Richard
Scott was one of the signers of the Combination, which contains the follow-
ing clause, " we agree As formerly hath ben the liberties of the Town : so
still to hold forth Libertye of Conscience."
From 1640 to 1 650, the Scotts appear to have been quiet and prosperous
citizens. They sold their town lot and moved out into the country, upon
their lands at Moshasuck. Richard2 Scott shared in all the allotments of
land, and acquired a large estate. Patience Island, in the Bay, was deeded
to him " aboute ye year 1651," by Roger Williams.
The children of Richard2 and Catharine were :
1. John,3 d. 167"; m. Rebecca Browne.
2. Mary, m. Christopher Holder.
3. Hannah, b. 1642; d. July 24, 1681; m. Walter Clarke.
4. Patience, b. 1648; m. Henry Beere.
5. Deliverance, d. Feb. 10, 1676; m. William Richardson.

Some time in 1656, Christopher Holder, a Quaker, came over from Eng-
land and visited Providence. It is a tradition that Richard2 Scott, his wife
and daughters, soon became converts to the new faith. There is nothing
to indicate that John8 Scott was ever of that faith. Although the evidence
concerning the identity of John Scott's wife is by no means certain, I think
there is very good reason for believing her to have been the daughter of
John and Sarah Browne of Old Swansea, who were baptists, members of
John Myles's church. It is known that there was a second son, and there
is reason for believing his name was Richard.
The daughter Mary8 and Christopher Holder formed an attachment, and
when two years later he was arrested in Boston on the charge of being a
Quaker, and sentenced to lose his ears, Catharine Scott and her daughter
Patience, then 11 years old, went to Boston to comfort the young man in
his trial. The story is thus told by George Bishop in his " New-England
Judged, by the Spirit of the Lord " : " And Katharine Scot, of the Town
of Providence, in the Jurifdiction of Rhode- Ifland (a Mother of many Chil-
dren, one that had lived with her Husband, of Unblameable Converfation,
and a Grave, Sober, Ancient Woman, and of good Breeding, as to the Out-
ward, as Men account) coming to fee the Execution of the faid Three, as
aforefaid [Christopher Holder, John Copeland and John Rouse, all single
young men, their ears cut off the 7th of 7th month 1658, by order of
John Endicott, Gov.] whofe Ears you cut off, and faying upon their doing
it privately, — That it was evident they were going to act the Works of
Darknefs, or elfe they would have brought them forth Publickly, and have
declared their Offence, that others may hear and fear. — Ye committed her
to Prifon, and gave her Ten Cruel Stripes with a three-fold-corded-knotted-
Whip, with that Cruelty in the Execution, as to others, on the second Day
of the eighth Month, 1658. Tho' ye confeffed, when ye had her before
you, that for ought ye knew, fhe had been of an Unblameable Converfa-
tion ; and tho' fome of you knew her Father, and called him Mr. Mar-
bery, and that fhe had been well-bred (as among Men) and had fo lived,
and that fhe was the Mother of many Children ; yet ye whipp'd her for all
that, and moreover told her — That ye were likely to have a Law to Hang
her, if She came thither again — To which fhe anfwered, — If God call us,
Wo be to us, if we come not; and I question not, but he whom we love,
will make us not to count our Lives dear unto our felves for the fake of his
Name — To which your Governour, John Endicot, replied, — And we shall
be as ready to take away yonr Lives, as ye fhall be to lay them down —
How wicked the Expreffion let the Reader judge."
The whip used is thus described by Bishop. " The whip used for these
cruel Executions is not of whip cord, as in England, but of dryed Guts,
such as the Base of Viols, and with three knots at the end, which many
times the Hangman lays on with both his hands, and must needs be of
most violent Torture and exercise of the Body."
Afterwards the daughter Mary3 visited her lover in prison, but the Bos-
ton people sent her back to Providence without a whipping, a remarkable
exercise of mercy for them, although they kept her in prison a month. In
the spring of 1660, Mary3 Scott and her mother went back to England,
and on Aug. 12 she was married there to Christopher Holder. In a letter
dated Sept. 8 of that year, Roger Williams wrote to Governor John Win-
throp of Conn., " Sir, my neighbor, Mrs. Scott, is come from England, and
what the whip at Boston could not do, converse with friends in England,
and their arguments have in a great measure drawn her from the Quakers
172 Richard Scott. [April,
and wholly from their meetings." Catharine Scott's death is recorded in
the Records of Friends at Newport, which is absolute proof that she died
in full standing among them.
Feb. 26, 1676, Richard2 Scott confirmed a deed, made many years before,
of Patience Island to Christopher Holder and his wife Mary. A copy of
this deed will be found in the Register, vol. xxii, page 13.
Richard2 Scott's daughter Patience8 married Henry Beere, who was mas-
ter of a sloop running between Providence and Newport. His daughter
Hannah8 married Walter Clarke, son of Jeremiah and Frances (Latham)
Clarke, who was one of the Quaker Governors of the Colony.
In 1666, Richard Scott was chosen from Providence a deputy to the
Legislature.
In 1672, George Fox visited New' England and preached in Newport,
R. I., with great acceptance, which greatly disturbed Roger Williams. In
1676, Roger Williams published in Boston, a book entitled " George Fox
digg'd out of his Burrowes," which for scurrilous abuse has few equals, and
which, when considered as the production of an apostle of Liberty of Con-
science, is one of the most extraordinary books ever printed. In 1678,
George Fox published in London, " A New-England Fire-Brand Quenched,
Being Something in Answer unto a Lying, Slanderous Book, Entitled
George Fox Digged out of his Burrows, &c. Printed at Boston, in the
Year 1676, of one Roger Williams of Providence in New-England." It
seems that George Fox addressed letters to William Coddiugton and Rich-
ard Scott, two of the most eminent Quakers in Rhode Island, and whom
he had probably met at Newport, and asked them what manner of man
Roger Williams was. They both replied at length, George Fox inserting
the replies in his book as an appendix, from which I copy as follows :
" Friends,
Concerning the Converfation and Carriage of this Man Roger Williams,
I have been his Neighbour thefe 38. years : I have only been Abfent in
the time of the Wars with the Indians, till this prefent — I walked with
him in the Baptifts Way about 3 or 4 Months, but in that fhort time of
his Standing I difcerned, that he muft have the Ordering of all their
Affairs, or elfe there would be no Quiet Agreement amongft them. In
which time he brake off from his Society, and declared at large the
Ground and Reasons of it : That their Baptif m could not be right, be-
caufe It was not Adminiftred by an Apoftle. After that he fet up a Way
of Seeking (with two or three of them, that had deffented with him) by
way of Preaching and Praying ; and there he continued a Year or two,
till Two of the Three left him.
That which took moft with him, and was his Life, was, To get Honor
amougft Men, efpecially amongft the Great Ones. For after his Society
and he in a Church-Way were parted, he then went to New-England,* and
there he got a Charter : and coming from Bof ton to Providence, at Sea-
conk the Neighbours of Providence met him with fourteen Cannoes, and
carryed him to Providence. And the Man being hemmed in in the middle
of the Cannoes, was so Elevated and Tranfported out of himfelf, that I
was condemned in my felf, that amongft the Reft I had been an Inftrument
to fet him up in his Pride and Folly, And he that before could reprove
my Wife, for asking her Two Sons, Why they did not pull of their Hats
to him ? And told her, She might as well bid them pull off their Shoos,
as their Hats (Though afterward fhe took him in the fame Act, and turned

his Reproof upon his own Head) And he, that could not put off his Cap
at Prayer in his Worfhip, Can now put it off to every Man or Boy, that
puis of his Hat to him. Though he profeffed Liberty of Confcience, and
was fo zealous for it at the firft Coming home of the Charter, that nothing
in Government muft be Acted, till that was granted ; yet he could be For-
wardeft in their Government to profecute againft thofe, that could not Join
with him in it. as witnefs his Prefenting of it to the Court at Newport.
And when this would not take Effect, afterwards when the Commiffion-
ers were Two of them at Providence, being in the Houfe of Thomas 01-
ney, Senior of the fame Town, Roger Williams propounded this Question
to them :
We have a People here amongft us, which will not Act in our Govern-
ment with us ; what Course fhall we take with them ?
Then George Cartwright, one of the Commiffioners asked him, What
manner of Persons they were ? Do they Live quietly and peaceably
amongft you ? This they could not deny ; Then he made them this Anfwer :
H they can Govern themselves, they have no need of your Government.
— At which they were filent.
This was told by a Woman of the fame Houfe (where the Speech was
fpoken) to another Woman, whom the Complaint with the reft was made
againft, who related it to me ; but they are both Dead, and cannot bear
Witnefs with me, to what was fpoken there. *****
One particular more I fhall mention, which I find written in his Book
I (pag. 7.) concerning an Anfwer to John Throckmorton in this manner :
To which (faith he) I will not Anfwer, as George Fox Answered Henry
Wright's Paper with a fcornful and fhameful Silence, — I am a Witnefs for
George Fox, that 1 Received his Anfwer to it, and delivered it into Henry
. Wright's own hands ; [Yet R. W. has publifht this Lie So that to his for-
mer Lie] he hath added another fcornful and fhameful Lie ; And then
; concludes, That they were his Witneffes, that he had long faid with David
(and he humbly hoped) he fhould make it good that he hates and abhors
Lying. _

i New-England . Richard Scot.
; Richard Scott seems, from the meagre records that have come down to
■ us, to have been a quiet man, attending to his own affairs, and having little
part in the squabbles that disturbed the " louing ffriends and neighbours,"
which so often claimed the attention of Roger Williams.
There is no record known of Richard Scott's death, but from collateral
evidence he is supposed to have died quite suddenly in the latter part of
1680 or early in 1681, leaving his affairs in considerable confusion. Cath-
arine Scott died at Newport, R. I., May 2, 1687.
In Bodge's " Soldiers in King Philip's War." the name of Richard
Scott appears in such manner as to make quite certain the presence of two
persons bearing that name. In those accounts, Richard Scott, cornet, and
Richard Scott, private, were both paid for services. Aug. 24, 1676. The
services extended from December, 1675, to Aug., 1676. From these ac-
counts it also appears that John8 Scott served from June, 1675, to Aug.,
1676. Richard8 Scott, the younger, who is mentioned, but not named, in
his father's letter to George Fox, no doubt perished, unmarried, in that ter-
. rible struggle.
John8 Scott, who survived King Philip's War, had married, about 1661,
Rebecca Browne. He took the oath of allegiance May 30, 1667, and was
174 Richard Scott. [April
a juryman April 27, 1668. He paid taxes of £1-0-0 in 1G71. He wa!
acquiring property and rapidly becoming a prosperous citizen when he wa:
shot by an Indian, on his own doorstep, and mortally wounded, dying in *
few days, about June 1, 1677. As both Richard and John Scott's name:
are not in " A List of the inhabitants who Tarried in Providence during
Philip's War — 1675," it appears probable that the entire Moshasucl
quaker settlement went to Newport during that struggle, and that Johi
Scott and his family returned too soon for safety.
The children of John3 and Rebecca, all born in Providence, probably a
Moshasuck, were :

Sllvanus,
The son John4 lived in Newport, with his grandmother and aunts, be
came a merchant and carpenter, and married Elizabeth, daughter of Ed
ward and Elizabeth Wanton. This Wanton family furnished five colonia
governors, and are known as the " Fighting Quakers."
The widow Rebecca remained in Providence, and took up the task o
straightening out her late husband's affairs, a task to which was soon addec
the tangled affairs of her father-in-law, Richard Scott; and there she mar
ried, April 15, 1678, John Whipple, Jr., who was one of the prominen
men in the Providence colony, and had held nearly every office in the gif
of the town, from constable to town clerk and moderator of the Towi
Meeting. He became blind, and several years thereafter, Dec. 15, 1700
he died.
Jan. 7, 1701, the widow Rebecca Whipple presented a will to the Towi
Council for probate, and was appointed administrator of her husband's es
tate, but delayed the settlement for nearly a year, until she and Johi
Whipple's daughters and their husbands, on the one part, forced a deed o
partition with young John Whipple, on the other part.
The youngest child of John8 and Rebecca Scott, who was about six year:
old when his father died, lived with his mother in John Whipple's house
He became Major Silvanus4 Scott, and early in life entered into the poli
tics of the town, becoming nearly as prominent in his generation as hi;
step-father had been before him. He married, about 1692, Joanna, daugh
ter of Joseph and Esther (Ballard) Jenckes. His wife was a sister of tht
Governor Jenckes so noted in R. I. annals in the first half of the 18tl
century. I have not learned that either Silvanus4 or Joanna4 Scott wen
Quakers; but many of their descendants were, and still are, of that faith
Their great-grandson Job Scott was, in the latter half of the 18th cen
tury, one of the most noted Friends' ministers then living.
The children of Sylvanus4 and Joanna were :
1. Jo.HX,5 b. Sept. 30, 1694; d. July — , 1782; m. Mary Wilkinson.
2. Catharine, b. March 31, 1696; m. Nov. 1718, Nathan

THOMAS TREADWELL OF IPSWICH, MASS., AND
SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS.
By William A. Robbixs, LL.B., of Brooklyn, N. T.
[Continued from page 55.]
15. Jabez4 Treadwell (Nathaniel? Nathaniel,"1 Thomas1), born in Ips-
wich, Mass., 9 Aug., 1713, died testate in Ipswich, 22 Dec, 1780
(the correct year, although his gravestone states 1781), married
(intention published in Ipswich, 20 Nov., 1736) Lucy Haskell of
Ipswich, who died in Ipswich, 21 Sept., 1789, aged 74 years.
The church records in Ipswich would lead one to believe that
Jabez married four times, whereas he had but one wife. He was
a cooper, and resided in Ipswich.

2sOTES AND QUERIES.
NOTES.
W^shixgtox. — The following is a further communication from Rev. R. T.
Love, M.A., Rector of Purleigh, Maldon, co. Esses, England, whose interest-
ing letter and an appeal for repairs upon whose church appeared ante, paces
91 and 97.
" The marriage of Lawrence Washington. Rector of Purleigh 1642-43, rests
on much more substantial grounds than prima, facie evidence drawn from the
resignation of his Fellowship, as mentioned in your issue of January — which
Fellowship, I am informed by the Master of Brasenose College, was resigned 30
Nov. 1633. Not only are we now in a position to prove his marriage, which I am
inclined to suggest "took place the day of the resignation, but also the name of
his wife, and his relationship as father of the first Washingtons who settled
in Virginia.
First, his marriage is placed beyond doubt by the appearance of Mrs. Wash-
ington before Commissioners on Plundered Ministers at Chelmsford, in 1649,
when a " ffith part of Purleigh" was '• ordered to the plundered Rector's wife."
(The word "plundered" (deprived) was tirst used in England 1642. Skeat's
Etymological Dictionary, The Clarendon Press, Oxford.)
Secondly, the Rector of Purleigh's wife is proved to be Mrs. Amphillis Wash-
ington, whose children benefited under the will of Mr. Andrew Knowling of
Tring, 1649-50. In addition to the circumstantial evidence collected by Mr.
Waters, i:i his "Ancestry of Washington," reprinted from the Register,
proof positive may be found in The Nation, Dec. 22, 1S92, and .Sept. 21, 1S99,
based on the axiom that ' when one's brother has the same name as one's niece's
father, these must be one and the same person.' Mrs. Mewce's brother was
Lawrence Washington, Recior of Purleigh: and her niece's father was Law-
rence Washington, husband of Amphillis Washington. Therefore, the Rector
of Purleigh was the husband of Mrs. Aiupliillis Washington.
Thirdly, having identified the Rector of Purlicgh as the husband of Mrs.
Amphillis Washington, the next step is to prove that her children were the
Virginian settlers. This proof is obtained by comparison between the wills
of these emigrants on the one hand, and the names, ou the other hand, of the
children of Mrs. Amphillis Washington, as contained in the very important will
of Mr. Andrew Kuowling. By this comparison it is shown that the three set-
tlers, John, Lawrence, aud Martha, hail two sisters. Elizabeth and Margaret;
and these five names correspond with the names of Mrs. Amphillis Washing-
ton's children in the above meutioued will. Moreover, the use of the words
' eldest' and ■ other,' in the American wills, when compared with the baptismal
entries in England, establishes the order of birth to be the same in both cases.
It is therefore absolutely certain that John, the eldest of these settlers, found
in Virginia 1659, and whose will is authenticated by endorsement in the hand-
writing of Gen. George Washington, was the eldest son of Mrs. Amphillis
Washington and of her husband, the Rector of Purleigh.
208 Notes and Queries. [April,
The details of this evidence have been put at length in a ' Summary of Evi-
dence,' which the present Rector has drawn up from the writings on this sub-
ject; and which he proposes to put into print, should he find any encouragement
on the part of Americans."
Few persons of the present day are aware how general was piracy two cen-
turies ago. The following extract from "The Boston News-Letter, " August
21, 1721, shows that iu early times pirate ships, carrying many guns and heavily
manned, sailed the high seas and pursued their unlawful calling. The " Mary "
•was taken somewhere in the Sargasso Sea, off the coast of Africa.

" THese are to Certifle all Persons concerned that on the 7th Day of May last,
William Russel Master of the Ship Mary of Charlestown, in his Voyage from
Madera to Surrauam in the Lat. 22 Deg. and 27 N. and Long. 25 and 27 W.
from London was taken by a Pirate Ship upwards of 50 Guns, Commanded by
Capt, Roberts, about 300 Men, who robb'd him of part of his Cargo, and Forced
away from him two of his Men, against his and their own consent, viz. Thomas
Russel born in Lexintown near Charlestown and the other Thomas Winchol
born in Portsmouth, New-Hampshire in New England."
Braixtree Marriages. — In the article on page 43 of the last issue of the
Register, in the marriage under the date of " 1760, Apr. 24," the name of the
man was Caleb Bailey, not Bagley. (See Deane's Scituate, page 214.)
Ella T. Bates.
Edgartowx Deaths.— In the Register, vol. 59, page 303, in the article en-
titled " Deaths at Edgartown," it is stated (page 307) that the Beulah Coffin who
died Jan. 19, 1812, age 86, was the daughter of Enoch and Jane (Claghorn)
(Whellen) Coffin. The contributor has made a mistake, as the Beulah, daughter
of above, was born Oct. 10, 1748, married, Jan. 5, 1769, Jonathan Pease, and
died Jan. 29, 1773. The Beulah who died Jan. 19, 1812, was the daughter of
Enoch and Beulah (Eddy) Coffin. CH. C.

Burrell. — In the Register, vol. 59, page 352, there is a mistake in the line
of descent of Sergt. John Burrell, who was a great-grandson, not grandson, of
John Burrell the emigrant. The line is as follows :
John1 Burrell arrived in Weymouth, Mass., in 1639; married Rebekah ,
and had these three (if not more) children : John,1 b. 1658, d. 1731 ; Thomas,
b. 1659 ; Ephraim, b. 1664.
John2 Burrell (John1) married, June 26, 1688, Mercy3 Alden (Joseph,2 John1
of the "Mayflower"), and had: Elizabeth* b. 1689; Thomas, b. 1692; Capt.
John, b. 1694.
Capt. John3 Burrell (John,2 John1), who moved to Abington in 1741, married,
Jan. 8, 1717, Mary4 Humphrey (Joseph,3 Thomas,2 John1) of Hingham, and had:
Sergt. John* b. Sept. 24, 1719; Joseph; Abraham, b. 1721; Humphrie, b. 1723,
d. at Lake George, 1756; Thomas; Mary.
Sergt. John* Burrell (John,3 John,2 John1) married Ann4 Vinton (Thomas,3
John,2 John1), and had: Mary, b. Feb. 22, 1741; Ann, b. Mar. 17, 1743; Eliza-
beth, b. Aug. 7, 1745; Miriam, b. Mar. 17, 1749; John, b. Oct. 5, 1752; Beta, b.
May 20, 1756; Nathaniel, b. May 17, 1761; Ziba, b. Mar. 12, 1765.
Cambridge, Mass. Wm. Lincoln Palmer.
Stimpson.— In the Register, vol. 59, page 368, it is stated that [19] John5
Stimpson (John,4 John,3 Andrew,2 Andrew1) married Mary, daughter of Nathan-
iel and Mary (Kemball) Harrington, but this is an error, for in 1784 she was the
wife of David Whitney, as shown in the will of Nathaniel Harrington, in Mid-
dlesex Co. Probate, file 7316. The oldest child of Daniel Whitney was named
Mary Kimball.
John5 Stimpson probably married Mary, daughter of Edward and Anna (Bui-
lard) Harrington of Watertown, who, according to Bond, was born Aug. 23,
1752, for in the division of Edward Harrington's estate, in 1794, Middlesex
Co. Probate, file 7280, one share was allotted to "the heirs of Mary Stimson,
deceased." Arthur M. Jones.

Queries.
A Genealogical Pczzle. — Judge Sewall, in his Diary, vol. 1, p. 215, under
date, May 30, 1688, says: "Mr. Joseph Eliot here, says the two days where-
in he buried his Wife and Son, were the best that ever he had in the world."
The editors, in a foot-note, facetiously add, " The kindest construction should
be put upon this remark of the bereaved husband and father."
The context shows that Mr. Joseph Eliot was the Rev. Joseph Eliot, sou of
the " Apostle," who was the minister at Guilford, Conn. But there are con-
fusing facts. He had two wives. The first, Sarah Brenton, died prior to 16S5,
leaving four daughters. The second wife, Mary Wyllys, died in 1729, thirty-
five years after the death of her husband. There were two sons, born to this
second marriage, who lived many years after the death of their father.
Could the wellnigh infallible Judge have made a mistake in attributing this
remark to the son Joseph, instead of his father, the " Apostle," whose wife,
210 Notes and Queries. [April,
" Hanna Mumford," died March 22, 1687, and whose son Benjamin died Oct.
15, 1687? The words, "the two days wherein," stand in the way of this ex-
planation, but words spoken, and written subsequently, may not be correctly
reported. It would be interesting to have some expert straighten this matter.

Addis, Beebe, Hawke. — I should like the dates of birth, marriages, and
death of Millicent, daughter of William Addis, or Addes, of Gloucester, Mass.,
1642. She married first, William Southmaid, second, William Ash, and third,
Thomas Beebe, by which last husbaud she had a daughter Hannah, who mar-
ried, in New London, Conn., 16 Jan., 1688-9, John Hawke. Has anybody dis-
covered the maiden name of Millicent's mother? And was John Hawke of
Mayjloioer descent? (Miss) Lucy D. Akerly.

Foster. — I am trying to indentify Abigail , who married, about 1692,
Jonathan3 Foster (Thomas,2 Thomas1). Jonathan was born probably in Dun-
stable, Sept. 21, 1671, and died Jan. 5, 1755. He first appears in Billerica, and
later was a resident of Stow aud Chelmsford. Abigail is said to have died in
Chelmsford, July 9, 1761. Some think she was a child of Arthur2 Warren
(Arthur1), who was born in 1639, married Abigail Rogers of Billerica, date
unknown, aud died Apr. 5, 1671. His widow died June 15, 1671.

Historical Intelligence.
English Research. — The Committee on English Research, of the New Eng-
land Historic Genealogical Society, begs to call attention to the desirability
of reviving investigation concerning the English ancestry of the pioneers of
New England. From 1883 to 1899, former Committees secured funds by which
valuable researches among the wills of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in
London were carried on by Henry F. Waters, Esq., the results of which were
published in the Register, giving clues which lead to determining the ancestry
of many of the early settlers of New England ; but since Mr. Waters's work
was relinquished, comparatively little has been accomplished by the Society in
that direction.
The Committee now solicits funds for continuing research in England, on
the ancestry of the early New England colonists, the results to appear in the
Register, and it would be glad to receive suggestions and information on this
subject.
Clues, not generally known, as to the origin of several early emigrants, have
come into the Committee's hands, and the Secretary of the Committee will be
glad to give information to anyone who may desire to make investigations.

Wood Genealogy.— Clay W. Holmes, Elmira, N. Y., compiler of the gene-
alogy of the Descendants of William Wood of Concord, Mass., 1638, published
In 1900, 8vo, pp. 365, will be glad to present to any public library or historical
society making a specialty of genealogical publications, which is not already
supplied with the book, a complimentary copy if the transportation charges
will be paid.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices,
graduation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and
dates of birth, marriage, residence, and death. When there are more than one
Christian name, they should all be given in full if possible. No initials should
be used when the full name is known.
Lee.— Joseph L. Edmiston, 1129 W. 17th St., Los Angeles, Cal., is collecting

The compiler in his introduction says that " it has not been the endeavor to
embrace a wide scope, but rather to prepare concise biographical and genea-
logical data, that, while it might be of some broader interest, would be more
particularly valuable to a few who trace their ancestry to the fountain sources
of American life mentioned herein." There are two genealogical charts, and at
the end of the volume are blank leaves for additional records. The book is in-

The system of page reference employed in this genealogy greatly facilitates
the tracing of pedigrees. The " Owner's Lineage" at the end of the volume,
comprising a couple of pages of genealogical blanks, is also a useful feature.
The genealogy is brought down to the eighth generation, and is well indexed.
The book is printed on heavy paper with wide margins, and the binding is sub-
stantial.

Besides the immigrants mentioned on the title-page, this work contains a no-
tice of Matthew Lyon who settled in Vermont, and who has been called " the
American Pym." The investigations in England have not only confirmed what
had already been asserted but have supplied new information respecting the Lyon
origins. The American portion of the genealogy has for its principal object the
sifting of the materials regarding the first generations, the definite separation
of the historic from the traditional. The history of this family necessarily
contains biographies of importance, as so many of the name have acquired dis-
tinction. The book is well indexed, is printed on uubleached paper, and bound
in cloth. The illustrations are chiefly portraits.

For centuries the Sinnotts have held a prominent position in County Wex-
ford, Ireland, and various branches of the family are shown on charts, in
addition to the immediate line which came to America in 1854.
The Annals of the Allied Families are a scholarly compilation of reliable data
on the early lines of the Rogers. CoiHn, Hammond, Winslow, Reeves, Jess, Lip-
pincott, Bodine, Corlies, Wins, West and Mayhew families. Preceding each of
these accounts is a chart showinz the connection with the Sinnott family.
"We notice the usual careful attention to detail which is characteristic of Mr.
Leach's editorial work. The illustrations are of unusual beauty, and facsimiles
of documents and signatures, with many portraits and coats-of arms, are scat-
tered through the book, which is a fine specimen of the printer's art. There is
an excellent index. a. l. w.
A Genealogy of the Southworths (Southards), Descendants of Constant South-

A.B., M.D. (Harvard). The Fort Hill Press, SamuefCsher, 175 to 184 High
St., Boston, Mass. 1905. Large Svo. pp. 487. 111.
The record of the descendants of the sons of Constant Southworth — Ed-
ward, Nathaniel and William — occupies the body of this work; in the two ap-
pendices are found descendants of John Southard of Boothbay, Me., and of
Isaac Southworth, of Sharon, Ct. The chapter on the Southworths in Eng-
land, which is of considerable length, ascribes the origin of the family to Gil-
bert de Croft who, in consequence of a grant of land in Southworth, assumed
that name. There are two extensive indexes. Paper, print and illustrations
are excellent. An error occurs in the list of contents, the first chapter having
a wrong title assigned to it.

Essex Institute. 1905. 8vo. pp. xlii-f-456. 111. Price §3-50 postpaid. Ad-
dress: The Essex Institute, Salem, Mass.
Dr. Bentley was born in Boston in 1759, and was pastor of the East Church
in Salem from 1783 to 1819, the year of his death. He was remarkable as a
student and linguist, and displayed an original and independent mind. The
diary of such a person must necessarily be of exceeding interest as a portrayal
of the social, political, and religious aspects of the community in which he
lived, and time which it represents, from the close of the Revolution to 1S19.
Au introduction to the diary consists of a " Biographical Sketch," an " Address
on Dr. Bentley," " Bibliography." and an " Account of the East Meeting-
House." The footnotes are principally those of Mr. Edward Stanley Waters,
a former resident of the East Parish.

Memoir of Col. Henry Lee. With Selections from His Writings and Speeches.
Prepared by John T. Morse, Jr. Boston : Little, Brown & Company. 1905.
8vo. pp. viii-H-tl. 111.
The index of this fine volume is sufficient to show that it is a work of great
interest, not only as to what relates to Mr. Lee, but also as to the many whose
obituaries by him are included in the "Selections from his Writings." His ■
own life is amply treated under the heads of " Youth," " Matters Theatrical "
(referring to his passion for the amateur drama), "Civil War," "Public Af-
fairs," "Harvard University," " Traits," " Library Labors," " Religion." Be-
sides twenty-five obituaries of persons of eminence, the " Selections" contain
" Personal Reminiscences of Gov. Andrew," " Broad Street Riot," " The Shaw
Memorial," and other articles. The book is fascinating reading, and is a splen-
did tribute to the man. Paper, type, illustrations, and binding are of the best.

Tryphena Ely White's Journal. Being a Record, written one hundred years ago,

by her only remaining granddaughter, Fanny Kellogg. [1904. Grafton
Press. New York City.] 12mo. pp. 46. 111.
In the introduction it is stated that Tryphena Ely White " received her birth "
in West Springfield, Mass., March 25, 1784. It was in the town of Camillus,
N. Y., however, that the journal was written, Miss White's father having set-
tled there late in life. In 1813 she married Frederik Kellogg, and died in 1816.
The journal, which is of exceeding simplicity, relates to the most common-
place incidents of everyday life. A few other brief documents are included in
the volume.

John Williams, " The Redeemed Captive." By George Sheldon. W. B.
Clarke Co., 26 and 28 Tremont St., Boston. 1905. 12mo. pp. 149+10.
This deeply interesting volume portrays life in Roxbury, Mass., and its
neighborhood under Puritan domination with truth and vividness. The biog-
raphy of Williams up to the time he settled in Deerfield is the slender thread
which winds in and out among baptisms, funerals, executions, fasts, wars,
lectures, sports, collegiate activities, and a multitude of other things. The
style of the book is unpretentious and clear, and the opinions expressed seem
to be void of prejudice.
Mental and Moral Heredity in Royalty. A Statistical Study in History and Psy-
chology. Bv Frederick Adams Woods, M.D. With one hundred and four
portraits. New York : Henry Holt & Co. 1906. 8vo. viii.+312. Price 83.00
net, postage extra.
This book is designed primarily to prove the predominating inflneuce of he-
redity in the formation of traits of character. Records relating to royal fam-
ilies, as contained in dictionaries, histories, and court memoirs, are here
brought together, averaged, and arranged according to scientific formulas.
Tables and charts show the proportionate influence which each ancestor exerts
on descendants, according to his remoteness. The origin and descent of ex-
ceptional ability, insanity, extraordinary perversities, degenerations, or even
altruistic traits, are shown on various charts and discussed at length. Geneal-
ogists interested in royal families will find many pedigrees, compiled completely
(including all maternal branches), not to be found in any other book. ***

+458. 111. Maps. Facsimiles.
I An unusual opportunity is here afforded to study the unity of our colonial
(history, and contrast its diversified development from Massachusetts to Vir-
ginia, during the formative period from 1600 to 1660. New Netherlands and
New France are also included, and maps, contemporaneous and otherwise, are
lavishly used, as well as innumerable illustrations, to give a clear-cut, accurate
and readable account of the United States during those years. The manner of
placing dates and leading topics in the broad margins is admirable, and the bio-
graphical appendix will be found useful in making further iuvestigations.
; The frontispiece of this volume is a portrait of John Winthrop, in color, and
the other numerous portraits and illustrations are made from copper etchings.

stead of twelve, without additional cost to the original subscribers, a. l. w.

Mr. Hosmer in his Introduction says that the sources of his compilation are
oral. While the work as a whole is excellent, the third chapter, which occu-

the genealogical information it contains. The volume is indexed, and is well
printed and bound. The map shows the location of the first settlers.

particular attention has been paid to the part played by the merchants of New-
buryport in supplying clothing and military stores to' the patriot army in the
Revolution, and iu fitting out privateers. As to the later history of the town,
space did not permit an adequate treatment, on which account biographical
sketches have been omitted. The appendix contains lists of collectors of the
port, representatives, town and city clerks, and treasurers. The index occupies
more than seventy pages. The quality of the paper used does not comport with
the general excellence of the work.

The first part of this series was noticed in the Register for April, 1902. In
the introduction to that publication, the compiler says that her object is " to
repeople, with Wykes and their successors, some of the old houses . . .
that awakened in her especial interest," adding that she " had not the heart to
throw overboard such bits of information concerning other inhabitants as hap-
pened to be caught in its meshes." It is evident that the same aim has been fol-
fowed in the parts of the work which have since appeared, the Wykes by no
means receiving exclusive attention.

Quakerism and Politics. Essays. By Isaac Sharpless, LL.D. President of
Haverford College. Phila. : Ferris & Leach, 29 South Seventh St. 1905.
12mo. pp. 220.
The purpose for which this book was written has been admirably accom-
plished. Its design is to show that the beneficent results of Quaker policy were
the inevitable consequences of the application of uncompromising moral princi-
ple in the transactions of government. From the first chapter, "A govern-
ment of Idealists," to the last, " The Basis of Quaker Morality," this truth is
vividly illustrated. In the two concluding chapters, the distinctly Quaker
sentiments of the author are most plainly, and by no means offensively, obvious.
The whole work, which chiefly relates to the early history of Pennsylvania,
shows unmistakably that it is the production of a Friend.

DEATHS.
William Phineas TJpham, who died in
Newtonville, Nov. 23, 1905, was one of
the best- known antiquarians in New
England. He was the son of Rev.
Charles W. Upham of Salem, author
of the " History of the Salem Witch-
craft," and his mother was a sister of
Oliver Wendell Holmes. Mr. Upham
was a graduate of Harvard College,
class of 1856, and was a life member
of the American Historical Associa-
tion, and of the Massachusetts Histori-
cal Society. For many years he was
engaged in restoring, classifying and
indexing the manuscript records of Es-
sex County and of Suffolk County,
through which work, together with his
own independent researches, he became
an authority on the early history of these
counties. He was the author of numer-
ous pamphlets on antiquarian subjects,
and at the time of his death had nearly
completed, in collaboration with Mr.
John Noble, clerk of the Supreme Court
of Massachusetts, an edition of " Rec-
ords of the Court of Assistants of
Massachusetts Bay," never before pub-
lished. His exhaustive knowledge of
the systems of shorthand in use dur-
ing the Colonial period enabled him to
decipher manuscripts that must other-
wise remained unintelligible, a notable
achievement being his recent recovery
of the phonetic alphabet employed by
Jonathan Edwards. He invented a
" rational " system of shorthand, which
is extensively used in England. He
was recently elected to membership in
the Harvard Chapter of the Phi Beta
Kappa Society, in recognition of his
antiquarian scholarship. Mr. Upham
was a member of the Essex bar. He
leaves a widow and two daughters. —

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT.
Fellow Members of the New England
Historic Genealogical Society :
It has long been the custom for the president to make an annual
address to the Society, though I have sometimes thought that per-
haps it was a custom that might be more honored in the breach than
the observance, inasmuch as it seems to be expected that the presi-
dent shall review the proceedings of the year, which have already
been fully set forth in the various reports. Last year the incongrui-
ty of presenting the same facts in three different forms suggested
to the Society the propriety of printing the reports instead of read-
ing them to those of the Society present, and this suggestion was
adopted and the reports accordingly printed. As it is wholly
unnecessary for me to repeat what is of necessity embodied in the
reports, I shall only touch upon a few points in them to which I
desire to call particular attention ; and, first, the house we live in,
which we all realize has been outgrown by the Society, and is
wholly inadequate to its. requirements. Not only are we crowded
for space but we are exposed to danger from fire, and the loss of our
library and collections would be irreparable. Fortunately, we have
acquired sufficient land in the rear of our building to enable us to
erect thereon a fire-proof structure for our library, and should our
property not be taken for public use, we should, during the year,
take some steps towards building. Our finances are in extremely
good condition, and we have reason to be pleased that we have this
year lived within our appropriations, a consummation devoutly to be
wished hereafter. Our library too, shows a healthy growth, and
the Librarian and Committee in charge are entitled to no small
measure of credit for their able and intelligent conduct of its affairs.
X N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
The same may be said of the editor of the Register and your Publi-
cation Committee ; in fact, all of your active committees merit the
regards of the Society.
Genealogy is now generally considered a legitimate subject of study.
Fifty years ago this was far from the case, and those who gave them-
selves only in a moderate degree to this branch of history, were looked
upon as at least erratic. Now, however, a man can hardly be re-
garded as educated who does not know something of his own family
history, and something, too, of that of the larger characters of his-
tory, for education, once confined to the narrowest limits, has over-
leaped its bounds and now finds the widest fields of knowledge all
too narrow for its exploration. Even the imagination, once the
unquestioned prerogative of Art, has been made tributary to Science,
and may now be as legitimately employed by an Agassiz and a
Pierce, as by a Longfellow and a Holmes-. At the same time, we
are far from being an educated people in a real sense. Our system
of popular education has produced imperfect fruit ; indeed, much of
the product of our colleges and universities is coarse and unsound.
How many men who boast a diploma are devoid of that ethical
sense which is the test of true culture. The other day a party of
young men, higher classmen in one of our colleges, who had evi-
dently been participants in a football game, entered a car upon
which I was coming to Boston. Proceeding at once to monopolize
the vacant places, they sprawled over the seats, placing their feet in
many instances over the backs of those in front of them, and by
loud talk, snatches of college songs, and horse play made themselves
obnoxious to their fellow travellers. I wondered if an intelligent for-
eigner would not have supposed these fellows to have been descendants
of one of our aboriginal tribes, rather than of respectable American
families, and I wondered still farther what they would be likely to
become when they entered upon the real business of life. Cer-
tainly, most of them could never become culti%-ated, well balanced
christian gentlemen ; rather would they, the spiritual side of their
nature having in the process of their education been left fallow, be-
come exploiters of selfish business schemes, attaches of yellow
journalism, and political bosses, to whom all games, if successful,
are orthodox ; in other words, apt devotees of commercialism, to
use a popular and expressive term, which embodies all forms of
greed for gain, and of which the consummate flower is graft. Yes,
ADDRESS OP THE PRESIDENT. XI
with all our boasted devotion to education, we are still far from be-
ing an educated people. We have learned enough to use slang
more copiously and more graphically than it was ever used before
by any people, and to exploit fads most convincingly to shallow
thinkers ; but having neglected moral and religious education in the
schools, we are losing our morals and our faith. It seems to me
that the most crying need of the time is education in morals, par-
ticularly that phase of morals relating to one's private and public
duties. In these respects the moral sense seems to have become
woefully blunted.
So strong has the spirit of commercialism become, that a man
cannot perform a service to a fellow man, and especially to the
public, without being suspected of being influenced by selfish
motives ; in fact, men as a rule wholly fail to recognize disin-
terestedness in any service, hence men of character very largely
refuse to accept public office in which they might render valuable
service, because they shrink from attracting to themselves the at-
tention of illnatured critics, which would not only render them
personally uncomfortable, but tend to lower them in the esteem of
their fellows. Party papers, whose only function should be to in-
struct their readers in the principle of their party, showing by fair
arguments their superiority over those of their opponents, are largely
responsible for this ; too many of them ignoring argument and in-
dulging in inuendo and personal criticism bordering often upon
libel. Nothing debauches public morals and lowers the character
of public service more than this, and if the boycott is ever justifiable,
it should be applied to papers which resort to such reprehensible
methods.
I have intimated that commercialism has invaded every field of
human activity, even people who were taught in older fashioned
times to regard the ballot as a sacred thing to be used only in
promoting the public welfare, have found out that it really pos-
sesses commercial value and employ it for private advantage. I
have been astounded at this new phase of graft. Said an alderman
in a good New England city to me, Mr. X has withdrawn his trade
■ from me much so my loss, because I failed to get his street paved.
This attracted my attention, and investigation disclosed the fact that
men owning property upon some street frequently traded their votes
in order to secure the nomination or election of men who would
XU N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETT.
pledge themselves, as an offset, to make improvements to their
pecuniary benefit. Citizens, whatever their private interests may
be, who have no higher conception of the sanctity of the ballot than
to prostitute it to private gain in any form, might as well join the
despicable army of floaters and sell their votes to the highest bidder.
It is strange that men cannot see that such practices must inevitably
result in giving the direction of government to venal men to their
own injury as well as to that of the public.
It is high time that the pupils in our public schools should be given
the advantage of a course of instruction in good citizenship ; in fact,
I believe that such a course of instruction is necessary if we would
make this country the abode of a free people. Evidences of the need
of such instruction are constantly multiplying. Within a month, a
candidate was visited on the eve of an election by a considerable num-
ber of boys from one of the best wards of the town. They had chosen
a spokesman who informed the candidate that they wanted a valuable
piece of ground which he owned, part of the lawn of a fine old
estate, for a ground for football and other games, and they backed
up their demand by informing him in the most significant manner
that their fathers were all voters. Not contented with this, they
called the next day upon a member of the city committee and re-
quested him to use his influence with the candidate, who could have
their fathers' votes if their request was granted. These boys had,
of course, learned the commercial value of voteB in their own homes,
where education begins, and must begin if education in the schools
is to achieve its best results.
It is certainly a hopeful sign to see that writers are taking up
the subject of the duties of citizenship. Such works as " The Citizen
and the Neighbor" and "The American Citizen," written by Rev.
Charles F. Dole of Jamaica Piain, are invaluable, and can be made
of great public service. If the contents of these little books could
be made available to the youth of this country, the benefit to them
would be incalculable, because it would put them on the highway to
the knowledge that the man who holds a ballot has had bestowed
upon him by the nation a sacred trust to be used solely, in accor-
dance with his best light, for the public good. To use his ballot
for personal profit renders a man unworthy of the franchise.
PROCEEDINGS.
The Annual Meeting of the New England Historic Gene-
alogical Society was held in Marshall P. Wilder hall of the
Society's house, No. 18 Somerset Street, Boston, on the afternoon
of Wednesday, 10 January, 1906, at 2.30 o'clock, the President,
Hon. James Phinney Baxter, A.M., Litt.D., presiding.
The call for the meeting was read and the meeting declared open
for business, agreeable to article 1, chapter IH., of the by-laws.
The annual reports, as hereinafter printed, were presented, re-
ceived, read, accepted, and ordered on file.
On motion, it was
Voted, To proceed to the election of officers for 1906, agreeable to
article 1, chapter IV., of the by-laws.
That the polls be now opened and stand open until three o'clock this
afternoon.
That three tellers be appointed by the Chair, who shall receive, sort and
count the ballots and make report to this meeting.
The Chair appointed, as tellers : William Sumner Appleton,
of Boston, Ernest Lewis Gay, A.B., of Boston, and Charles
Fbench Read, of Brookline, who accepted the duty and conducted
the election.
The limit of the poll having arrived, the Chair, after inquiry if
all, who wished to, had voted, declared the polls closed. The
President vacated the chair, calling Capt. Albert Alonzo Folsom,
of Brookline, to preside as Chairman pro tempore. Capt. Folsom
accepted and assumed the gavel.
The tellers made a report of the election, which was received,
read, accepted, and ordered on file.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL.
Prepared by Albert Matthews, A.B.
The subject of names is a large one, and has been treated fre-
quently and extensively. Nevertheless, it will perhaps be possible,
in brief space, to throw out some suggestions which may prove
of value to the members of a society like this. Do not some of us,
in our genealogical researches, feel that our labor is in a somewhat
narrow field? The facts we accumulate about a certain person are
doubtless of extreme interest to ourselves and to the descendants
and family of that person, but are they so to others? Can we not
broaden the field, and so make the labor more interesting at once
to ourselves and to others ?
Let us consider for a moment the matter of Christian names.
There are instances of double names in the seventeenth century,
and they were perhaps more common in the eighteenth century than
is generally supposed. At that time, they were apparently more
frequently given to girls than to boys. At the present day our
English cousins are as heavily burdened in this respect as we are ;
but in England boys seem seldom to be named after distinguished
persons. With us, on the contrary, this practice is most pronounced.
Its origin is to be found in the political turmoil engendered by the
Stamp Act. On October 16, 1766, a Boston boy "was Baptized
by the Name of Wilkes, when it had Aro. 45, in Bows, pinn'd on
its Breast." Within the next few years children in Boston were
baptized by the names of William Pitt, Oliver Cromwell, Paschal
Paoli, Catharine Macaulay, George Whitefield, Samuel Adams,
George Washington, Charles Lee, Henry Knox, and Benjamin
Franklin. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that, were other
material lost, the history of our country might be reconstructed
from Christian names. Thus from a source so seemingly unprom-
ising as baptismal registers facts of interest can be drawn.
In investigating the origin and history of literary usages, it is
surprising how often it becomes necessary to inquire minutely into
the lives of persons. Wherever we find a term containing a proper
name, there seems to be an ineradicable tendency in the human
mind to explain the term by referring it to some person or thing of

the same name. Thus, — to take but a few instances, — it has been
alleged that Brother Jonathan is derived from Governor Jonathan
Trumbull of Connecticut, Uncle Sam from Samuel Wilson of Troy,
Yankee from Jonathan Hastings of Cambridge, lynch law from
Charles Lynch of Virginia.
The Sons of Liberty have not received the attention they deserve.
The name itself was coined by Colonel Isaac Barre" in the debates
on the Stamp Act in the House of Commons in 1765. They ap-
pear to have had a regular organization, and the warning notices
issued by them were sent out in the names of " M. Y., Secretary,"
"'O. C, Secretary," "P. P., Clerk," etc. Were these the initials
of the members who held the positions? Again, what was the
significance of "Joyce, Jr." — the name under which the chairman
of the committee for tarring and feathering masqueraded ? Once
more, was the father of Samuel Adams actually, as he is said to
have been, the founder of the Caulkers' Club, and did the Caulkers'
Club give rise to a word which has played so important a part in
the political history of our country — caucus? Those searching for
genealogical facts relating to the prominent actors of the Stamp
Act period may at any moment stumble on letters or documents
which would solve these questions.
These remarks have been desultory and inadequate in the ex-
treme, but perhaps enough has been said to show that genealogical
researches and investigations into the origin of literary usages,
besides satisfying a natural desire to ascertain the facts, often throw
light on the manners, the customs, the political beliefs, and the
history of our colonial or provincial or national periods.

The total expenditure from the unrestricted income of the Society,
for the year ending 31 December, 1905, has been $9,158.48. The
details of this expenditure are given in the report of the Treasurer.
Legacies have been received from Walter Titus Avery, amount-
ing to $950.00, and from Robert Charles Winthrop, Junior,
amounting to $3,000.00.
The Committee has authorized the purchase of four Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, three Detroit, Grand Rapids & Western,
three Central of New Jersey, three New York Central & Hudson
River, three Missouri Pacific, and three Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad bonds, each of one thousand dollars, as an invest-
ment of the principal on hand.
XVlll N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETT.
The Committee also reports that by practising the strictest
economy — restricting the work in the Library merely to what was
indispensable — the Society has lived within its income this year, and
has used none of its invested funds to pay current expenses ; but
expenses have been so reduced, by cutting off many things that
would improve the Library, that the Committee earnestly hopes
the friends of the Society will come to its aid by generous gifts and
bequests during the coming year.
The Report of the Committee on Real Estate, by Hon. James
Phinney Baxter, Litt.D., Henry Winchester Cunningham, A.B.,
Thomas Hills, Esq., and Nathaniel Johnson Rust, Esq., the Com-
mittee :
The Committee, appointed early in the year, has examined the
present House and the adjoining real estate owned by the Society,
and considers that it has great possibilities, and can hardly be im-
proved upon as a home for the Society. The Committee also looked
at several sites and buildings in the neighborhood, but found prices
high and buildings not adapted to the Society's purposes, and came
to the conclusion that the present situation was as good a one as
means permitted, particularly as it was important for genealogical
work to be near the State House and the Court House. And as
there seemed to be no immediate prospect of the present House being
taken for public purposes, the Committee abandoned further search.
The Report of the Committee on the Library, by George Brown
Knapp, A.M., Helen Frances Kimball, Myles Standish, M.D.,
Joseph Gardner Bartlett, Esq., and William Prescott Greenlaw,
Esq., the Committee:
The danger of the total and irreparable loss by fire of the Library
of our Society has oppressed the Committee on Library for several
years. It was known to them that the construction of the Library
building made it a very hazardous fire risk and that the building
was structurally weak.
It was evident to the most casual observer that the original struc-
ture, a lightly built dwelling house, had been weakened by the re-
moval of all the interior partitions except those surrounding the
stairs, that the heavily loaded library floor was supported upon un-
protected iron columns incapable of withstanding any great amount
of heat. It was known that a weak floor had been laid above the
old library floor in such a way as to leave an open space from wall
to wall both ways between the floor and the ceiling below it. That
the upper floor added weight without giving additional strength and
REPORTS OP COMMITTEES. XIX
I left an open space which would allow fire to spread rapidly, weak-
■ ening the light timbers, so that there would be a collapse of the
building in a short time if fire once got under way in that space.
The timbers of this floor were known to be neither large enough
nor near enough together for a building used for public purposes,
and that they had been very much weakened by cutting to accom-
modate gas pipes in the centre of the span.
It was also known that the old-fashioned construction created
open spaces running vertically between the brick walls and the plas-
ter on all sides behind the bookcases, and would be exceedingly diffi-
cult to reach in case of fire, so that enormous damage to the books
by water and otherwise would result from even a slight fire. These
spaces would, in all probability, also serve as flues to conduct fire
into the dangerous places, namely, the space between the library
floor and the ceiling below it, and the loft above the library ceiling.
The furnace room was low studded, so that it was evident that
the ceiling was dangerously near the top of the furnace, and that in
cold weather the room was frequently overheated.
It was remembered that when the building was enlarged, years
ago, the rear wall of the original structure had been removed up to
the level of the balcony in the library, leaving the weight of the
roof and the remaining portion of the rear wall supported by brick
piers over that portion of the libjrary room. These facts, and a
general sense of insecurity, induced the Library Committee to ap-
point a sub-committee to investigate the condition of the building.
Mr. J. Gardner Bartlett for that sub-committee made the following
report :
"The edifice was originally built over 100 years ago for a dwelling
house, was altered for their use when bought by the Society about 35 years
ago, and has since been enlarged and altered twice. In 1891 the bulging
of the north wall rendered the building liable to collapse, and this wall
was strengthened by piers and the building tied together with cross rods
in the floors.
The whole construction of the building from cellar to roof is totally
unsuited for the purpose of a Library or the deposit of valuable books or
manuscripts. Investigations at various times have shown that dangerous
conditions exist, like exposure of woodwork to heat and smoke flues, tim-
bers so cut for piping as to reduce their strength by half, exposure of the
building to explosion from escaping gas, etc. The whole construction of
the building is too light for the purpose for which it is used, and is also of
an inflammable character ; the construction of the library floor and roof,
especially, is of such a nature as in case of fire to afford a clean sweep for
flames and a total loss of the contents of the building.
Nor is the safe at all a secure place for the valuable treasures of the So-
ciety, as the roof is not tight, and in case of a fire the contents of the safe
would surely be damaged if not ruined by water ; moreover, if the safe be
made water-tight, as the limit of its capacity has been reached, further fire-
proof space is necessary for new accessions.
XX N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
Besides the risk from fire in the present building, the rapidly increasing
accessions of the Society require larger quarters.
As the collections of the Society are not only of great money value, and
:, historical importance, and besides the manuscripts, over 1,000 printed
', titles could not be replaced at any expense, we recommend that all such
unreplaceable matter should be deposited at once in some safe place until
the Society shall have a modern, thoroughly fire-proof building, the need
of which is imperative."
The Committee accepted the report, and voted to approve and
forward the recommendation in the last paragraph to the Council of
the Society.
A sub-committee was then appointed to inquire into the expense
of making the building less dangerous in case of fire. This sub-
I committee invited Messrs. Wheelwright & Haven, the well known
architects, to make an examination of the building and an estimate
as to the probable cost of such structural changes. These gentle-
men reported as follows :
"Boston, 29 Nov. 1905.
Mtles Standish, M.D.,
N. E. Historic Genealogical Society.
Dear Sir: — In response to your request we submit the following report
on the danger from fire in the Building of the N. E, Historic Genealogical
Society and as to the possible and advisable precautions to be taken to les-
sen fire risk without complete reconstruction of the building, together with
thr cost thereof.
The building is an old dwelling house which has been altered over from
time to time as requirements made necessary.
The walls, with the exception of an addition on the rear, are of less thick-
ness than are now required by the Boston Building Laws (see Note A) and
that on the north side is badly cracked and bulged. The party wall is 12"
thick and further it is perforated by the timbers of the adjoining building.
This perforation may also be the case in the lower stories, but this we were
not able to ascertain without removing bookcases and plastering.
The floors are not stiff enough to carry the heavy load of the books
without considerable vibration on the second and third floors. The ceiling
of the third story in the old part is badly out of level and is held up by a
light truss of old pattern and very light wood ties from the rafters sup-
porting the ceiling joists. The roof is composition for the addition and
slate for the old part. All walls with the exception of parts of the Base-
ment and First Story are plastered on wooden laths and furring.
Note A. — The building is 50 ft. high to the highest point of the roof,
and for a building of this height the Boston Building Laws require the
following thicknesses of walls.

REPORTS OP COMMITTEES. XXI
1. Fire Risk from External Causes.
The perforation of the party wall at the level of the third story ceiling
i may be easily remedied by closing the draft space with brick or metal lath
; and plaster, but the bearing of the timbers 8" into the wall is a more serious
matter.
With this condition, if there were a severe fire in the adjoining building
the party wall would probably be thrown by falling beams causing a sec-
tion of the roof construction and all of the ceiling joists to fall upon the
third floor which is already heavily loaded. If the floor joists of the third
floor run 8" into the north outside wall, as we have reason to suppose, this
wall already very weak would undoubtedly fall between the buttresses.
If this should occur the library building would be a total wreck, and even
if this wall should not fall the building, even if it were not wholly de-
stroyed, would probably be so damaged that it would be poor economy to
reconstruct.
The slate of the old roof when exposed to fire from the outside would
crack and fall, leaving the roof boarding unprotected.
2. Fire Risk from Internal Causes.
The ceiling of the boiler room is of the ordinary construction of wood
lathB on plaster applied to the bottom of the floor joists. The plaster of
the ceiling has been knocked away in places, leaving the laths and space
between the timbers exposed. Fire might be caused in this room by over-
heating in the furnaces or by leaking gas, and in the basement in general,
might be caused by rats or by spontaneous combustion in oiled rags or
waste. A fire started in "the cellar would be likely to ignite the wood
lathed ceilings, thence, by the air spaces between the floor beams to the
side and party walls of the building it could spread to all stories and the
roof. The large number of wall cases renders it difficult to gain access to
the furring space in case of fire.
Another way for fire to spread is offered by the light shaft starting at a
little below the level of the second floor and running through the roof.
The sides of this shaft are of stud construction and the party wall is framed
with wood and plastered on wood lathing. Fire originating in the base-
ment could follow up the under side of the stairs from first to second
stories directly into this light shaft as there are unprotected glass doors on
the stair landing and above this there is a window in the third story.
Hot air pipes to the various floors run behind wood casings and in many
places are surrounded by cases filled with books, making fire channels hard
of access.
To render the building a less dangerous fire risk we would propose :
1. To strip the party wall in all stories, fill solid with mortar between
the wood furrings and then metal lath and plaster, leaving no air space.
2. To remove all ceilings plastered on wood lath and replace with
metal lath and plaster.
3. To fire stop with plaster at both sides of each floor to prevent the
spread of fire behind the furrings. In the basement to cross stop between
the joists at several points the whole length of the building, to prevent the
spread of fire in a horizontal direction between the floor beams.
4. To strip the plastering from staircases, fire stop them in accordance
with the requirements of the Building Laws and plaster on metal lathing.
XX11 N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
5. To build new roof of steel and concrete, carrying the weight on the
party wall side by four steel columns extending from the new roof level to
the basement floor. These should be located against the party wall in the
adjoining building owned by the Society. On the side opposite the party
wall three 6teel columns will carry the weight of new roof to the tops of
the present buttresses. This method will relieve the party wall from any
roof load, except that coming on it from the adjoining building, and the
wall opposite the party wall will receive no roof load above the level of the
third floor at which point the wall is reinforced by the buttresses.
6. To protect the furnace pipes by some effective insulating material.
The electric light installation should be thoroughly inspected by compe-
tent experts and all possible precautions taken for its proper insulation.
We would suggest replacing the present wooden bookcases with metal
cases. This is especially desirable in the vaults and storage spaces in the
basement and first story.
With the building in its present condition a night watchman should be
employed and his service checked by a watchman's clock.
The total cost of fire-protecting the structure and of building a new roof
of incombustible material as herein advised would not be less than 815,000,
not reckoning the cost of storage of the books, etc., of replacing the present
wood cases with metal, or of inspecting and further insulating the electric
light installation.
Yours truly,
Wheelwright & Havex."
The architects' figures, it will be noticed,"do not cover the ex-
pense of the metal cases and shelves, nor the cost of handling and
storing the books during the reconstruction of the building, which
would easily double the expense, and we should still have a build-
ing with weak walls, wooden floor timbers, and lacking space for
the future growth of the Library.
Even at the present time, every available inch of space is occu-
pied, and we have more than 20,000 volumes and pamphlets in
storage. Our most valuable papers would still be stored in the
brick vault of the present building, which is a structure of doubtful
security. It is a brick arch construction, supported by iron beams.
These beams, being unprotected like the iron columns in the hall
above, would collapse if heated, and the entire manuscript collec-
tion would be lost. The roof of the safe is now badly cracked and
thin, and probably would not be strong enough to survive the fall
of the party wall, if the building itself should be destroyed.
AYe have land in the rear of the present building on which a
building approximately 65X70 ft. and 80 ft. high, built of brick,
with steel and tile arch floor construction, equipped with steel stacks,
could be erected for $125,000, even at the present high prices of
material and labor. A building 65X70 ft. and 80 ft. high. would
have four times the capacity of the present building, and if planned
aright, ought to be sufficient for the growth of the next fifty years.

The construction of such a building is earnestly recommended,
and the Committee on the Library hopes that the Society will take
such action in the immediate future.

The Report of the Committee to Assist the Historian, by
William Richard Cutter, A.M., Chairman :
The Historian confesses that in seeking help from surviving friends
of our deceased members he has neglected the help this Committee
stood ready to furnish. Mr. Heywood of the Committee has died.
The sixth volume of the Memorial Biographies has been pub-
lished during the year. The volume has been edited and printed
under the direction of the Historian, and members of the Commit-
tee have assisted in the work when they have been called upon.
The Historian is now at work on the material for the seventh
volume.
The chairman has written a number of sketches for the Pro-
ceedings. Where the work has been only a condensation from a
single article, no signature has been appended, and the same omis-
sion has been made in the case of sketches prepared from material
formerly contributed by deceased members to the archives of the
Society.
It is no't easy at times to get the exact date of death of members
living at a distance, and if persons residing in other states, than
Massachusetts, would inform the Society of the dates of death
of members belonging in their vicinity, which come to their knowl-
edge, it would be a help.

sented by Henry Ernest Woods, A.M., Chairman :
The Committee on Heraldry begs to report that during the past

Two books published in 1904 seem worthy of special mention :
Macdonald's "Scottish Armorial Seals," and Fox-Davies's "Art

The Report of the Committee on Epitaphs, by John Albree, Esq.,
Chairman :
The Committee on Epitaphs reports that during the year there
have been added to the Library by donation copies of inscriptions
from the following cemeteries :
1. Cedarville Cemetery, East Sandwich, Mass., from Levi Henry El-
well, M.A., Amherst, Mass.
2. North Cemetery, Salem Road, North Billerica, Mass., from Miss
Martha Ann Dodge, Billerica, Mass.
3. First Presbyterian Churchyard, Schenectady, N. Y., from Nathan
Van Patten, Schenectady, N. Y.
4. Old Burying Ground, North Andover, Mass., from Hollis Bailey,
Cambridge, Mass.
5. Old South, Farm, Brush Hill, Plain, Central, West, and New South
Burying Grounds, Sherborn, Mass., from John Bliss Brainerd, M.D.,
Brookline, Mass.
6. St. John's Church Graveyard, Providence, R. I., from Miss Mary
Alice Keach, Providence, R. I.
And through the Committee on Vital Records :
7. Hinsdale, Mass., Cemetery Records, and
8. Partridgefield (now Peru), Mass., Inscriptions, both from James
Hosmer, Hinsdale, Mass.
The preparation of these manuscripts has required a great amount
of time, patience and careful work, and the Committee takes this
occasion to express appreciative thanks .to those who have con-
tributed to the results.
It is to be noted with pleasure that the seven old grave-yards in
Sherborn, Mass., have been copied in excellent form by Dr.
Brainerd, who reports that he found a large number of inscrip-
tions illegible, a condition that unfortunately is too often noted in
old graveyards ; and that again emphasizes the need of prompt
action in preserving the data recorded in graveyards which have not
yet been cared for.
The circular " Suggestions as to Copying Inscriptions," the prep-
aration and printing of which was mentioned in the report for last
year, has been found to be of decided assistance in the work, especi-
ally in securing greater accuracy and more uniformity in the manu-
scripts.

results attained by the Daughters of the American Revolution at
Cohasset, has been adopted by the local chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution at Hingham, the adjoining town, and
the final copy is being prepared. The Daughters of the American
Revolution in Milford, N. H., have made substantial progress along
the same line, and the final copy is being made there also. The
Sons of the American Revolution at Springfield have made a be-
ginning in that place. The Arlington Inscriptions, contributed by
the Arlington Historical Society some years ago, is another instance
of the successful working of the plan of co-operation. These in-
stances are mentioned to call the attention of the patriotic orders
and the local historical societies to a field that falls within the scope
of their operation. Experience shows that a leader can soon gather
around himself or herself enough helpers to allow the field work to
be speedily completed.
Additions to the card catalogue of this Committee are beino-
continually made, showing in what places the inscriptions have
been copied and where the copies are to be found. If a copy has
been made and deposited in safe-keeping, sooner or later the facts
will be printed.
The work of the Committee seems to be peculiarly in accord with
the motto on the seal of the Society, "In Memoriam Majorum," in
that it seeks to fulfil and render certain of accomplishment the pur-
poses the " great multitude " had in mind when they erected the
humble slate memorials as " sacred to the memory of " those they
loved.

The Committee on the Consolidated Index begs to report that a

Index caused a delay of some months, which was still further in-
creased by the death of the chairman, Captain James Swift Rogers ;

but it is now happy to report that the work is progressing rapidly.
Three numbers have been issued this year, and, at the present rate
of progress, six parts may be expected annually until the work is
finished.
As 600 copies of the rarest volume of the Register were printed,
and as there are probably about 500 complete sets of the Register
in existence, holders of nearly complete as well as of complete sets
should secure the Index before it is out of print. The fact that a
complete set of the Register lacking the Index will be less useful
and probably less valuable than a set with the Index but lacking
the rare volumes should not make it difficult to dispose of the re-
maining unsold sets before the work is completed.
The Committee believes that the Society should not profit pecu-
niarily by this undertaking, and proposes that the subscribers shall
benefit by the $2,400 donated originally for the preparation of the
Index. It further proposes, after reimbursing the Society for money
advanced, to give to subscribers pro rata any balance on hand at
the completion of the work.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
Presented by William Peescott Gbeenlaw.
The Llbbarian has attended to the duties of his office through-
out the year, devoting from one to two hours per day more than is
required of his assistants in forwarding the interests of the Society.
He has usually been the first to enter the building in the morning
and the last to leave it at night, exercising the most rigid vigilance
over the heating and lighting apparatus as a safeguard against fire.
In his endeavors to build up the Library and increase its usefulness,
he has enjoyed to a remarkable degree the cooperation of the offi-
cers, members and employees of the Society. Below he submits a
statement of the growth, progress and needs of the Library, to
which is appended the required list of donors.
Accessions.
Again, as in 1904, the additions to the Society's collections in
the Library and the Cabinet have been eminently appropriate.
Two hundred and fifty-three genealogies have been acquired in
1905, which, with the six hundred and twenty-five secured in 1902,
the three hundred and sixty-two in 1903, and the same number
again in 1904, makes a total of over sixteen hundred genealogies
added in four years. The accessions for the year number 829
volumes, 763 pamphlets, and 1098 miscellaneous articles. Of
these, 217 volumes, 99 pamphlets, and 15 miscellaneous articles
were purchased, 542 volumes, 639 pamphlets, and 1083 miscella-
neous articles were given, and 70 volumes and 25 pamphlets were
received in exchange. Adding to the last published estimate, the
accessions received since, and deducting the duplicate municipal
reports (40 volumes and 2560 pamphlets") disposed of in 1904,
gives 32,498 volumes and 32,479 pamphlets as the approximate
number in the Library, December 31, 1905.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. XXIX
Manuscripts.
The Society has been fortunate in securing genealogical manu-
scripts during the year. Among these worthy of special mention
at this time are genealogies of various Rogers families compiled by
the late Capt. James Swift Rogers of Boston, and presented by his
widow ; genealogies of several Cook families, and partial copies of
local records in the vicinity of Pittsfield, Mass., gathered by the
late Rollin H. Cooke of Pittsfield ; an Adams genealogy compiled by
the late Hon. Andrew N. Adams of Fair Haven, Vt., and pre-
sented by his widow ; an Eldred genealogy given by Mrs. Marian
Strong Baker of Washington, D. C. ; a Pulsifer genealogy given
by Mrs. Cornelia Lucretia Boardman Pulsifer of New Bedford ;
Ward, Plummer and Lang genealogies given by Mrs. Harriet
Emeline Richardson of Aurora, 111. ; a collection of manuscripts from
the library of the late Hon. Charles Henry Bell of Exeter, N. H.,
given by Mr. Hollis Russell Bailey of Cambridge ; several volumes
of English records gathered by the late Joseph Jackson Howard of
Blackheath, Kent, Eng. ; an original Diary, kept by Israel Litch-
field, given by Miss Ella Farmer of Hingham, Mass. ; an original list
of marriages by Rev. John Webb, 1714-1749, and the second volume
of the records of the New North Church of Boston, of which Mr.
Webb was the first minister, given by Mary Lincoln Eliot of Bos-
ton ; and a very large collection of copies of town, church, and pro-
bate records, epitaphs and deeds, relating to Barnstable, Mass.,
made by the late Gustavus A. Hinckley of Barnstable, and be-
queathed by him to the Society.
Growth and Use of the Library.
The efforts put forth in recent years to increase the Library
have been directed mainly toward the acquisition of genealogical
publications and manuscripts, and properly so, for the Society has
become widely known as the Genealogical Society, and the chief
use of its Library,' both by members and visitors, is for the purpose
of making genealogical investigations. Probably less than five
per cent of the books consulted are examined for all other purposes.
The historical side, however, has not been wholly neglected, es-
pecially when opportunity occurred to secure desiderata at low or
moderate prices ; yet it has been thought wise to leave to the vari-
ous state and local historical societies of New England the oppor-
tunity for each to excel in its own special field of activity. To
gather and preserve for public use the records of the families who
have lived within the confines of New England since its settlement
is a task sufficiently large to engross the energy and to absorb the
means of any one institution. And it is certainly more in accord-
ance with modern ideas, for the Society to specialize in what to
some, perhaps, may seem a narrow interpretation of its founders'
XXX N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
purposes, accomplishing much in the more restricted field, than for
it to divide its energy and means among a wider range of objects,
failing to obtain more than a moderate degree of success in each.
The remarkable growth of the Library along genealogical lines is to
a large extent due to the general demand of visitors for genealogi-
cal information.
Danger from Fire.
The wooden buildings on the adjoining land recently purchased
by the Society have been demolished this year, making a slight
change for the better in external conditions. See the former reports
of the Librarian. For expert opinions of the dangerous condition
of the Society's Building, read the Report of the Committee on the
Library.
Binding.
Finding it impossible to purchase duck of an uniform texture
and color, in small quantities, for binding, the Librarian has had
made to order a quantity of cloth sufficient for several years.
Economy and Service.
In response to a general demand " to take in sa^l " at the be-
ginning of the year, it has been necessary to curtail expenses wher-
ever possible. As a result, fewer books have been purchased, less
binding has been done, and scarcely anything worth mentioning has
been accomplished on the card catalogue. Miss Chapman and Miss
Rayne of the Library staff have been assigned temporarily to the
Consolidated Index, and jointly given charge of the editorial work
on it. This transfer has materially lessened the pay roll of the
library and has provided efficient editors for the Index, but it has
also seriously interfered with the progress of the library work. Miss
Stickney has been appointed by the Council as Assistant Librarian,
and continues to attend to the routine work of the Library.
The Treasurer's report for the year indicates that the Society has
lived within its income. The Librarian regrets the necessity of re-
porting that, in order to do this, it has been impossible to purchase
desirable books frequently called for, to keep up the cataloguing
and binding, and to give the best service in assisting members and
visitors.

MEMOIRS
OF THE
NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
Arranged by Rev. George Modxton Adams, D.D., Historian.*
The following pages contain obituary notices of members who
died during the year 1905, with the addition of six deceased in
preceding years. The notices are arranged in the order in which
the deaths occurred.
1903.
Hezekiah Spencer Sheldon, of West Suffield, Connecticut,
a life member since 1886, died August 29, 1903. He was a native
of Suffield, and was born June 23, 1820. His father was Julius
Curtis Sheldon, and his mother's maiden name was Mindwell
Spencer. He was a descendant of Isaac Sheldon, of Dorchester,
Windsor, and Northampton, through Jonathan,2 Elijah,3 Martin,"
Julius C.sf Julius Curtis Sheldon was born in Suffield, where
the family had lived for several generations, December 12, 1791,
and died December 5, 1873. His mother was born in Suffield,
April 22, 1797, and died August 23, 1885.
The subject of this sketch was married, November 1, 1843, to
Almira C, daughter of Barlow Rose. They had no children. He
died in Suffield, leaving only a brother, Martin J. Sheldon, of
Suffield. In his letter of acceptance to the Society he says, "My
education to the age of seventeen years, was in the common school ;
polished up with a few terms at the Connecticut Literary Institu-
tion of Suffield. Then I commenced a most instructive course in
the study of human nature, by teaching district schools five winters,
boarding 'round, and working on the homestead farm in the sum-
mers. The broad acres of that farm, through five successive gene-
rations, are still in the family name. Alas, only the sons of the
Green Isle till its soil !
"I was a Suffield representative in the Connecticut legislature,
for the years 1857 and 1881, and have held many local town
* After the death of Rev. Dr. Adams, William Richard Cutter, A.M., who was ap-
pointed Historian, completed the arrangement and editing of the Memoirs.

offices. I am vice-president (serving as president) of the First
National Bank of Suffield. I am collecting, transcribing, and
printing (privately) the ' Documentary History of Suffield in the
Colony and Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England,
1660-1749.' I have printed already, in pamphlet form, 105 pages,
and 1 hope to complete it. I am the author of a pamphlet entitled
' Suffield and the Lexington Alarm in April, 1775,' 22 pp. I have
written the article ' Suffield ' for the ' Hartford County Memorial
History.'" An examination of his documentary history of Suffield
shows it to be a work of much merit. He adopted the documentary,
in preference to the narrative form, because it was his belief that
" no history can be so complete, or valuable, as the records them-
selves, accurately transcribed."
1904.
Henri Raymond Casgrain, D. Litt., F. R. S. C, was born
December 16, 1831, at Riviere Ouelle, Province of Quebec,
Canada, and died February 11, 1904, in the Convent of Les Reli-
gieuses du Bon-Pasteur, Quebec, where he had retired during the
last thirty years of his life. His father was Hon. Charles Eusebe
Casgrain, his mother Elizabeth Anne Baby, daughter of Hon.
James Baby, of Sandwich, Ontario.
Henri Raymond Casgrain was educated at Sainte Anne College,
and made his entry in the world as a medical student at McGill
University, Montreal. About a year afterwards, he left to enter
the Seminary of Quebec, where he was admitted to holy orders.
He devoted a few years to the ministry and was professor at Ste.
Anne College, until he was obliged to take rest on account of his
eyes, which were gradually losing sight as the result of his night
studies.
Generally, during fifteen or sixteen consecutive years, he used
to pass the winters in Europe, particularly in Paris, where he
formed the acquaintance of divers literary and scientific men. There
he collected a considerable number of historical documents, the
greater part of which were printed in Quebec by the Provincial
Government.
The principal works of l'Abbe Casgrain are : " Legendes Canadi-
ennes," "Biographies Canadiennes," "Histoirede THotel Dieu de
Quebec," " Un Pelerinage au Pays d'Evangeline," which was crowned
by the Academie Francaise, and "Montcalm et Levis," 2 vols.
The Abbe was a friend of Parkman. Their correspondence re-
lating to the Acadians, in which he rectified some historical errors
of his friend, brought forth the " Documents inedits sur le Canada
et l'Amerique," in 1888. They are intended to be the counterpart
and correction of Akin's collection of "Xova Scotia Archives,"
MEMOIRS. li
published in 1869. In view of writing the Pelerinage, the Abbe
twice visited the principal places of the old Acadian settlements, and
examined the Archives of Nova Scotia, at Halifax. Then he
crossed to London for additional researches, more particularly in
the British Museum. From thence he continued to Paris for the
same object.
The Abbe Casgrain was a corresponding member of this Society,
elected in 1875.
By Hon. Philippe Baby Casgraix, K.C.
Amos Bugbee Carpenter, of West Waterford, Vermont, a
corresponding member, elected in 1847, was born in Waterford,
May 25, 1818, and died in that town, April 26, 1904. He lived
all his life on the home farm in West Waterford, and married, June
24, 1847, Cosbi B., daughter of Ezra and Hannah (Burleigh) Par-
ker, of Littleton, New Hampshire, who was born June 24, 1828,
and died March 25, 1904. He was appointed postmaster when the
post office at West Waterford was first established, in 1855, and
resigned the office in 1888, being succeeded by his wife, who was
postmistress at the time of her death. He was elected in 1888 a
representative in the legislature for two years. He was survived
by five of a family of 6even children.
His life extended back to the first generation of Waterford in-
habitants, and almost to the beginning of the town's history. He
was identified with nearly every one of its enterprises, had an ex-
cellent memory, and knew thoroughly its history and its people, and
no one was better qualified to write its history. Instead, however,
his time for twenty years was devoted to an effort to prepare a his-
tory of the Carpenter family, involving an extensive correspondence
and travel into different parts of New England. This work was
published by him in 1898, under the title ,: A Genealogical History
of the Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family in America." In
the preparation of this work, — like other genealogists of his day, —
he went from town to town in quest of every one of his name, mak-
ing note of every record, tradition, item of information, land own-
ership, and probate record, — not forgetting the memorials of the
dead in the different burial-places of the towns which he visited.

life member since 1871, died on June 10, 1904. He was born in
the city of New York, January 18, 1814, the only child of John
Smith6 Avery and his wife Amelia Titus. His parents were natives
of Huntington, Long Island. John S. Avery, his father, was a

successful merchant of New York City. His mother was a daugh-
ter of Israel and Temperance (Xorton) Titus. His father was the
son of John5 and Ruth (Smith) Avery. John6 Avery was gradu-
ated at Yale College in 1761 ; son of Rev. Ephraim/ who was
graduated at Harvard College in 1731 (Register, 9: 173) ; son
of Rev. John,3 Harvard College 1706; son of Robert2 ; son of Dr.
William,1 of Dedham.
Walter Titus Avery was graduated from Columbia College in
1832. He began in the profession of civil engineering on the loca-
tion of the Xew York and Croton Aqueduct in 1836, and was civil
engineer on the Hudson River Railroad, from 1847 to 1850. He
then became a merchant, located in Stockton, California, from 1851
to 1856, and then in New York City, from 1856, and onwards till
his retirement.
He was a benefactor of the Society, leaving to it a bequest of one
thousand dollars.
Mr. Avery left to the Dedham Historical Society of Dedham,
Mass., the sum of one thousand dollars, and quite a collection of
books and genealogical manuscript of the Avery family. He also left
to the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association of Deerfield, Mass.,
the sum of one thousand dollars. A friend writes : " Mr. Avery was
greatly interested in the genealogy of the Avery family, and spent
both time and money in quest of information relating to the early
history of the family, not only in all parts of this country, but in
England as well. In features and complexion he resembled his
mother, though possessing strongly the Avery characteristics. In
California he was engaged in selling supplies for the miners under
the firm name of Avery and Hewlett. He returned to Xew York
in 1856, and formed a partnership with an old friend as importers
and commission merchants under the firm name of H. E. Blossom
and Co. At Mr. Blossom's death in 1863, Mr. Avery continued
the business with a former associate, the firm being Avery and Lock-
wood. Retiring from business in 1885, Mr. Avery passed most of
his time in a quiet village on the Great South Bay, Long Island,
dividing his time between his favorite pastimes of yachting, driving
and reading. He was well known among his friends as a student
of Shakespeare." He was unmarried.

Ira Davenport, of Bath, New York, a life member of this So-
ciety, to which he was elected in 189S, was born in Hornellsville,
New York, June 28, 1841, and died in Bath, in that state, October
6, 1904. He was the son of Ira and Lydia ( Cameron) Daven-

Rev. Elmer Hewett Capex, D.D., LL.D., was born in
Stoughton, Massachusetts, April 5, 1838, the son of Samuel Capen
and his wife Almira Paul. His paternal line of ancestry was
Samuel,7 Elisha,6 Samuel,5 Samuel/ Samuel,3 Samuel,2 Bernard1
Capen. His maternal line of ancestry was Almira,7 Samuel,8
Samuel,'' Samuel,4 Samuel,3 Samuel,2 Richard1 Paul. His remain-
ing ancestral lines are in the Bailey, Payson, Gay, Withington,
Fales, Fisher, Fenton, Shepherd, and Morse families.
Dr. Capen was fitted for College at Green Mountain Institute,
Woodstock, Vermont, and entered Tufts College in 1856, gradu-
ating in 18G0. At the first election after he was twenty-one years
of age, he was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representa-
tives, and bore an honorable part in the conduct of its business.
He studied at Harvard Law School, and was admitted to the Bar
in 1863. He soon, however, determined to enter the Christian
ministry. He was ordained and installed as pastor over the Inde-
pendent Christian Church at Gloucester, Massachusetts, October 5,
1865, where he remained nearly five years, and because of the ill-
health of his wife, removed to St. Paul, Minnesota. But change
of climate did not grant the needed restoration, and he returned to
New England, becoming pastor in Providence, R. I. He came to
the presidency of Tufts College, March 13, 1875, and presided
over its interests until his decease, March 22, 1905.
His services for Tufts College can scarcely be estimated. Under
his presidency the enrollment of students rose from eighty-three to
one thousand, and the number of the faculty from fifteen to nearly
two hundred. President Capen was an administrator. He had
great concerns in his charge and executed them with skill and fore-
sight. He was a person of commanding presence, and was recog-
nized as a leader among the people. From 1889 to his death he
was a member of the Massachusetts State Board of Education.
In the Christian pulpit, Dr. Capen was in the foremost rank,
and as an orator concerning academic subjects had few equals.
While alert in promoting the freest spirit in scholastic affairs, and
in the furtherance of Christian ideals, he was ever foremost in his
adherence to the central principles of the Universalist Church. He
was a student among students, and a man among men. The world
is richer and better because of Ins service, and his memory is cher-
ished not only by the student body and alumni of his College but by
citizens and lovers of good government throughout our country.
President Capen married, January 3, 1866, Letitia Howard,
daughter of Hon. Thomas Mussev, one time a resident of XeAV
London, Connecticut. She died September 5, 1872. He married,
February 12, 1877, Mary Leavitt, daughter of Oliver Edwards,
MEMOIRS. Iv
Esq., of Brookline, Massachusetts, who survives him. Their three
children are Samuel Paul Capen, professor of Modern Languages,
Clark University, Worcester; Ruth Paul Capen, Tufts College
1902 ; and Rosamond Edwards Capen. President Capen became
a resident member of this Society in February, 1904.

William Henry Pulsifer was born in Boston, November 18,
1831, the eighth in descent from Benedict Pulsifer, who settled at
Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1662, and who is the first of the name
of Pulsifer known to have lived in America.
Mr. Pulsifer attended the Grammar and High Schools of the city
of Boston. Upon leaving school, he engaged in mercantile busi-
ness in Boston, and resided there, with occasional extended business
visits to the West, until 1859, when he removed to St. Louis, Mis-
souri, where he became engaged in the manufacture of white lead
and other chemical products. He continued to reside in St. Louis
until 1890, when he retired from active business and returned to
the east, residing in the winter at Newton Centre, Massachusetts,
and at Washington, District of Columbia, and passing the summer
at his country place at Nonquitt, on Buzzard's Bay, Massachusetts.
During his residence in St. Louis, Mr. Pulisifer was prominent
in many business and financial enterprises. He was for many years
President of the St. Louis Lead and Oil Company, Treasurer of
the American Central Insurance Company, a director of the Na-
tional Bank of Commerce and of several other corporations. He
was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science; a member of the St. Louis Academy of Science; of the
Anthropological Society of Washington ; of the National Geographic
Society ; of the American Folk Lore Society ; of the American
Forestry Association ; of the New England Historic Genealogical
Society, admitted in 1891 ; of the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution ; and of the Bostonian Society. He was also
a member of the Union Club in New York and of the Cosmos and
Metropolitan Clubs in Washington.
Mr. Pulsifer died April 9, 1905, at the Highlands in Washing-
ton. He leaves a widow, and one daughter, Mrs. H. Duncan
Wood of New York.
Otis Brigham Bullard. Like very many of the older families
of New England, the Dullards emerge into our history in the fourth
decade of the seventeenth century. Benjamin Bullard was one of
the group of pioneers who ventured to settle west of Charles River,
near where Medfield, Sherborii, and Millis (formerly East Med-
way) corner together: and doubtless he and his growing family
shared with the Fairbanks, Lelands, Morses, Daniels, and others,
lvi N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
the protection of their good stone garrison-house on the shore of
Bogistow Pond, when King Philip's war party attempted its
destruction by means of the cartload of burning flax.
Isaac and three generations of Samuels succeeded Benjamin in
the ancestry of him whose career we now call to mind. Of these,
Samuel Bullard, Esq., of Holliston (1742-1816) was a noted sur-
veyor and almanac-maker. Capt. Samuel Bullard (born 1777)
inherited the homestead of four generations of Bullards of Hollis-
ton, a daughter town of old Sherborn, which Benjamin Bullard
helped to found. At this homestead Otis Brigham Bullard was
born, August 18, 1815, when Madison was president of the United
States, when the sterner aspects of Puritanism still prevailed in old
New England homes, when still "a man was famous according as
he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees."
The boy had a mind receptive toward the educational opportuni-
ties that came to him. Enough of the grandfather's blood ran in
his veins to make him interested in mathematics and surveying, and
under Matthew Metcalf he assisted as engineer on the old Boston
and Worcester railroad in 1839. He had flattering opportunities
to make some application of mathematics his life-work, but some-
how he early felt himself drawn away from family traditions and
so-called practical affairs into the pursuit of music as a profession.
Availing: himself of such training; in this direction as circumstances
then allowed, he devoted his best energies during the most active
years of his long life to the elevation of public taste through this
chosen fine-art. As choir-master and as teacher of singing classes
of boys and girls in his native town and elsewhere, he left a distinct
mark upon his time, and very many bear testimony to his useful-
ness. He was greatly aided in this work by his self-effacing, devoted
wife, Abigail Cutler, whom he married January 11, 1843, and with
whom he lived in most helpful relations for more than sixty-one
years.
As a successful public school teacher in his young manhood, later
as a member of the school board for many years, as town treasurer,
as loyal and efficient member of his home church to his life's end, as
neighbor, citizen, and friend, many of his best qualities were brought
into exercise. He was one of the first to support the Free-soil
party. He was always in warmest sympathy with the cause of
public righteousness. Having once adopted an opinion or allied
himself with a cause, he, with innate persistency, held to it faithfully
at all hazards. His mathematical instincts and training made him
accurate in observation and statement of facts, and just because
of this quality he was a valuable source of information concerning;
the past.
In 1869 he left Holliston for permanent residence in "Washing-
ton, District of Columbia, where for twenty years or more he was
MEMOIES. Ivii
proprietor of the Washington Conservatory of Music. His death
there, from a street accident, April 25, 1905, may have come to
him somewhat as a relief in the loneliness of old age, without chil-
dren or near relatives. Yet a long life, spent, as his was, in close
contact with the men and events of his time, gathers up a fund of
knowledge and experience which the world loses with regret.
He was a life member of this Society, admitted in 1865.

James Clarke Davis, born in Greenfield, Massachusetts, Janu-
ary 19, 1838, died at his home in Jamaica Plain, May 11, 1905.
His father, George T. Davis, was born in 1810, graduated at Har-
vard in 1829, lived in Greenfield from 1833 to 1865, and died in
Portland in 1877. He was an excellent lawyer, a noted wit, a
singularly agreeable converser, a most hospitable entertainer, a
genial, lovable man. He was a son of Wendell Davis of Sand-
wich, and grandson of Thomas Davis of Plymouth. His mother,
Harriet T. Davis, was a daughter of Xathaniel P. Russell of Bos-
: ton, and was described by James Freeman Clarke, for whom James
Clarke Davis was named, as having a brilliant intellect, easy flash-
ing wit, self-possessed graceful demeanor — all the qualities which
I charm society. She died in 1862.
Mr. Davis attended school at the Deerfield and Phillips Exeter
Academies, graduated at Harvard in 1858, belonged to five college
societies, studied law in his father's office and at the Harvard Law
School, was admitted to the bar in 1861, entered his father's firm,
and in 1862 removed to Boston where he practised until his death.
For several years he was clerk to the attorney general, and after-
wards was assistant attorney general. He prepared for the city
of Boston a "Digest of Massachusetts Decisions of Municipal
Interest," which was published by the city in 1866. He belonged
to the Union and St. Botolph Clubs, and was secretary of the former
for four years, and one of its trustees. He was secretary and a
trustee of the Adams Xervine Asylum, one of the council of the
Boston Bar Association, and one of the class committee and also
secretary of his college class. For several years he was one of the
school committee of Boston. He was a resident member of this
Society, elected in 1900.
On June 3, 1873, he was married to Alice W. Paine of Worces-
ter, daughter of Charles Paine. Thev had two daughters. Thev
lived on Mt. Vernon Place in Boston till 1883. and afterwards in
Jamaica Plain, where they maintained a delightful home, made sad
in 1902 by the death of the elder daughter. Mrs. Davis and the
younger daughter survive. His only brother, Wendell, and his
only sister, Ellen, died several vears ago, both unmarried.

Mr. Davis had little taste for court practice and gradually with-
drew from it, and at last devoted himself almost exclusively to the
care of trust funds and the management and settlement of estates.
He was often appointed receiver of insolvent companies, and in all
such cases did his work to the great satisfaction of the court. In
his experience there was no such thing as swerving from the strict-
est ideas of right. Those who knew him well reposed implicit con-
fidence in his integrity, fidelity and accuracy.
In politics Mr. Davis was a Republican ; and in religious faith a
Unitarian. He attended the church of Rev. Dr. James De Xor-
mandie of Roxbury, with whom he had a warm friendship.

William Sweetzer Heywood was born in Westminster,
Massachusetts, August 23, 1824, the son of John and Betsey
(Edgell) Heywood. His ancestors in the direct line were John,'
who was settled in Concord in 1656, John,2 Phineas,3 Timothy,4
John.8 On his mother's side he was descended from William'
Edgell of Woburn, through William,2 William,3 and Betsey.4
Reared on his father's farm in the southerly part of AVestminster,
he was educated in the common schools of his native town, and at
Leicester Academy, also at Clinton Liberal Institute, Clinton,
Oneida County, New York. It has been said of him that he was
"endowed by nature with a superior mental and moral constitution."
His father attended the Universalist Church at Westminster, and
under the direction of Rev. Varnum Lincoln of that church, and
later of Rev. Adin Ballou at Hopedale, Mr. Heywood prepared for
the christian ministry and was ordained May 25, 1849. He early
became interested in the great moral reforms of temperance, anti-
slavery, woman's rights, and the cause of peace. In 1848 he took
up his residence with the Hopedale Community, an attempt at
"practical christian socialism."' At Hopedale he preached as an
independent practical christian, and was also associate editor of the
Practical Christian, published by the Hopedale Community, mean-
time serving the Community as its president, until it virtually failed
in 1856.
On May 11, 1851, Mr. Heywood married Abigail Sayles, daugh-
ter of Rev. Adin and Abigail (Sayles) Ballou. With her he
established in 1856 the Hopedale Home School, which continued
successfully for seven years. In 1864 he left Hopedale, and enter-
ing into fellowship with the Unitarian denomination, he was set-
tled as pastor of Unitarian societies in Scituate, Hudson, Holyoke,
the Parmenter St. Chapel in Boston, and at Sterling. Every-
where he was a devoted teacher and pastor, and always charmed
by his "simple, guileless goodness."'
MEMOIRS. lix
In 1888 his native town of Westminster voted an appropriation
for a history of the town, and he was selected as the town's histo-
rian. The history is a work of great merit, a volume of nearly a
thousand pages, published in 1893. More recently he edited and
published some of the writings of his father-in-law, Rev. Adin
Ballou. Mr. Hey wood was elected a resident member of this
Society in 1887. He made frequent use of its library, and was
actively interested in its affairs, particularly as a member of the
committee on graveyard inscriptions.
An invalid for more than two years, Mr. Heywood died at his
home in Dorchester, Massachusetts, May 24, 1905. Besides his
widow he left an only child, Lucy Florence, born July 28, 1861,
the wife of John Holden, Esq., of New York, and two young
grandchildren. Those who were privileged to know William Sweet-
zer Heywood have remarked the singular beauty of his domestic
life, his entire genuineness, and his spiritual helpfulness.

Herbert Cornelius Andrews, son of Alfred Hinsdale and
Ella Cornelia (Matson) Andrews, was born in Chicago, Illinois,
March 19, 1883. He was descended from John Andrews (often
spelt Andrus) and Mary, his wife, who were among the earliest
settlers of Farmington, Connecticut, John Andrews being admitted
to the church there on May 9, 1658 ; made freeman May 20, 1658 ;
and his name appearing among the 84 proprietors in 1672.
From these ancestors his line of descent was as follows : John1
Andrews and Mary ; Daniel2 Andrews and Eunice ;
Daniel3 Andrews and Mabel Goffe ; Hezekiah4 Andrews and Anna
Stedman ; Ezekiel5 Andrews and Roxana Hinsdale ; Alfred6 An-
drews and Mary Lee Shipman ; Alfred Hinsdale7 Andrews and
Ella Cornelia Matson ; Herbert Cornelius8 Andrews.
As a child he was far from robust, and during his later years
there were always physical limitations. He was absorbed in his
studies, including music, and every study possessed for him an in-
tense interest. He graduated from the High School at Oak Park,
Illinois, in 1899, with high honors, and later attended the Univer-
sity of Chicago, and Colorado College, Colorado Springs. At
school and college, in addition to the regular studies, he mastered
stenography and typewriting ; took a course in advertising, and
salesmanship ; and for a time studied designing. While at Colo-
rado College he studied harmony, and showed marked ability in
musical composition.
After a year at Colorado College, he became so broken in health
that he was obliged to give up all further thought of school and de-
vote himself to an outdoor life. He spent a year alone in Flagstaff,
lx N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
Arizona. He next went to Pasadena, California, where after a few
months his health had so much improved that he became anxious
for definite occupation, and accepted an engagement with the Los
Angeles agents of the A. H. Andrews Co. of Chicago, of which his
father is President. After spending a year in business, he refused
the offer of a fine position in San Francisco, as the opportunity had
now come to him to devote his entire time to genealogical research,
a work absolutely congenial to him and to which he had for several
years devoted all time not otherwise engaged. That he came natu-
rally by his great love for genealogical research is plainly 6een when
we consider that he was the grandson of Alfred Andrews of Xew
Britain, Connecticut, who spent so many years in work of this
kind, and whose labors bore fruit in the "Andrews Memorial,"
" Hart Genealogy," and " Genealogy and Ecclesiastical History —
First Church, New Britain."
He established a studio at Los Angeles, and devoted himself ex-
clusively to genealogical work, becoming in a very short time the
recognized authority in genealogy and heraldry on the Pacific
Coast. The work which he accomplished in the few years in which
he was engaged in genealogical matters was surprisingly large. He
compiled many family histories — making a specialty of this line of
work, in the execution of which he was enabled to show his superior
artistic taste, in addition to partially compiling and entirely editing
the Hinsdale Genealogy (the manuscript of which is completed and
the publication expected at an early date), and he had also com-
piled the Matson Genealogy, which is now ready to go into the
hands of the printer, as well as completed a manuscript of 1,000
pages on " Early Connecticut Families," besides having devoted
much time and attention to the foreign ancestry of many of the
early families in this country. For some months before and at the
time of his last illness, he was principally engaged on the history of
a branch of the Piindge family, and he kept at the dearly beloved
manuscript days after he should have laid it down, so eagerly did
he hold on to his life work.
In December, 1904, he was obliged to undergo an operation for
appendicitis, but which upon examination proved to be sarcoma of
a very aggravated type. He apparently recovered from the opera-
tion and was able to <ret to his studio and to attend to some work,
but a relapse occurring, he was brought back to Chicago in April,
and failing very rapidly, died, after much intense suffering, on May
31, 1905. His funeral took place at the home of his parents in
Lombard, Illinois, and his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery
at that place. The following tribute was paid to him by a relative :
" What makes it so clear in regard to the future of this young man
is that he seemed before he left us to have made adjustment to all
HEMOIBS. lxi
the conditions passing or probable. He had the open mind and
the forward look. That attitude discovers and reveals. It is not
too much to say that he had native ability to enter upon any of the
paths open to human effort. But better, he had the disposition to
work along any or all of them as exigency might seem to require.
A fine scholar, yet he made a valued hand in a lumber mill. He
kept the guiding thread in any department of thought and action to
which he was introduced. The last year of his life shows his Plato
read and marked. His mind was opened once and forever to the
treasures of literature. When he left us he was an authority in
genealogy and heraldry, a remarkable result for a man so young.
Some of us thought that this study would inevitably make of him an
historian. We are sure that from his fine sensibility and keen per-
ception, we should have had something that would rank high in
truth and taste."
Although only twenty-two years of age at the time of his death,
he has left a distinct mark, and this Society is a loser by his untimely
decease. Realizing what he had already accomplished in his short
life, one cannot but deplore the loss of what he undoubtedly would
have done had he been allowed to live the allotted " three score
years and ten."
He was a resident member of the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society, elected in 1904.

Joshua Montgomery Sears, A.B., whose death occurred at
his farm in Southborough, Massachusetts, June 2, 1905, after a
somewhat protracted illness, was born at Yarmouthport, Massa-
chusetts, December 25, 1854. He was descended in direct line
from Richard Sears, the Pilgrim, who came to this countrv in the
"Leyden"in 1630.
His father, Joshua Sears, born at Yarmouthport, August 20,
1791, came to Boston and established himself in business, where
from small beginnings he accumulated a large fortune. He mar-
ried, in February, 1854, Phcebe, daughter of Deacon Robert Snow
of Brewster, by whom he had only one child, the subject of this
sketch. Mrs. Sears died January 1, 1855 ; and Mr. Sears two
years later, February 7, 1857.
A good part of the early life of Joshua M. Sears was passed in
the family of the late Alpheus Hardy, who was one of the trustees
of his father's estate. He attended school at Andover, Massachu-
setts, going later to Stuttgardt and Berlin, and from there to Yale
College, where he graduated in the class of 1877. While in
Europe, he became the owner of the Freiligrath and Curtius Li-
braries, the former of which is now a part of the fine library in the
lxii N. B. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
Boston house on Arlington Street ; the latter he presented to Yale
College.
He married, September 17, 1877, Sarah Carlisle, daughter of
Charles F. Choate, then of Cambridge, Massachusetts, who, with
two children, a son and daughter, survives him. In college, Mr.
Sears was a member of the base-ball nine of his class, and all through
life he showed an active interest in athletics. As a business man,
he was connected with many important interests. He was for many
years a director of the Second National Bank, the Massachusetts
Hospital Life Insurance Company, and the Old Colony Railroad.
He was treasurer for over twenty years of the Children's Hospital.
He was prominent in the yachting world, as one of the syndicate
which built the defender "Puritan," and as the owner of many fine
yachts. His latest purchase, the steam yacht " Sultana," was being
fitted out for a summer cruise at the time of his death. He passed
much of his time — as much as his business cares would permit — on
his beautiful farm in Southborough, and devoted a great deal of
thought and energy to its development. Of all his possessions, this
was the nearest and de.irest to him ; and it was there he turned when
his last and fatal illness came upon him.
Mr. Sears was a man of generous impulses, devoted to his friends,
and always ready to help others, giving freely of his time and money.
In college he assisted many of his class-mates ; many struggling
musicians have been the recipients of his bounty ; and his charities
to all have been without number — all done without ostentation or
show of any kind, known to none outside the beneficiaries except
those intimately connected with his business affairs.
He was a life member of this Society, elected in 1881.

Charles William Darling died June 22, 1905, in Asbury
Park, Xew Jersey. He was born October 11, 1830, in Xew
Haven, Connecticut, and was the son of Rev. Charles Chauncey
Darling, a Presbyterian clergyman of Xew York City, by his wife
Adeline E., daughter of William and Eliza Dana of Boston, Mas-
sachusetts, and granddaughter of Robert Davis, an officer of ar-
tillery in the war of the Revolution. His grandfather, Dr. Samuel
Darling, a graduate of Yale, and a physician of Xew Haven,
married Clarinda, daughter of Rev. Richard Ely of Saybrook,
Connecticut. His great-grandfather, Judge Thomas Darling of
Xew Haven, who married Abigail Xoyes (granddaughter of Rev.
James Pierpont of Xew Haven, one of the founders of Yale College),
was the son of Samuel Darling, who was born in England in 1695,
and came to Xew Haven in 1722, where he died in 1760.
Charles William Darling was educated in Xew York Citv, and
graduated from Xew York University. After his graduation, he

traveled in England and on the continent. Upon his return to the
United States he connected himself with the National Guard of the
State of New York, and when Edwin D. Morgan was elected
Governor he became a member of his staff. In 1864 he was ap-
pointed aid-de-camp on the staff of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, then
in command of the Army of the James. The following year, when
Reuben E. Fenton was elected Governor, he received an appoint-
ment on his staff as assistant paymaster general, and in 1867 he
was appointed military engineer-in-chief of the State of Xew York,
with the rank of brigadier-general.
Gen. Darling in 1869 again visited England, and was the re-
cipient of many courtesies from the English authorities. He sub-
sequently traveled extensively in Europe, Asia and Africa, and his
absence abroad covered a period of about ten years. Upon his re-
turn, in 1879, he removed from Xew York City to Utica, Xew
York, where he resided until his death. He was connected with
many historical and scientific societies ; was a member of the
American Authors' Guild ; associate member of the Victoria Insti-
tute of India ; honorary member of the Egyptian Exploration Com-
pany, and secretary of the fund for the promotion of its work.
For several years he was president of the Young Men's Christian
Association. He was a corresponding member of this Society,
elected in 1885.
Gen. Darling married, in 1857, Angeline E., daughter of Jacob
A. Robertson of Xew York City. He left no immediate family.
From the Xew York Genealogical and Biographical Record.
Rev. George Edward Day, D.D., elder son of Gad and Rox-
anna (Rice) Day, was a descendant of Robert Day, who came
from Ipswich, England, to Boston, Massachusetts, in the bark
" Elizabeth " in April, 1634, and was one of the original proprietors
of Hartford, Connecticut, having probably journeyed thither through
the wilderness with Rev. Thomas Hooker in 1636. Through his
mother he was descended from Thomas Yale, uncle of Elihu Yale,
in whose honor Yale College received its name. He was born
March 19, 1815, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, but in 1822 removed
with his parents to Xew Haven, Connecticut.
After graduation from Yale College in 1833, he taught two years
in the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in Xew York City. In
the education of this class he was deeply interested, and in 1836,
while a student in the Yale Seminary, wrote on the subject for the
American Journal of Science. The results of his investigations,
made by request during subsequent visits abroad, were published
in a " Report on Institutions for the Deaf and Dumb in Europe,
especially Germany," in 1845, and in one on similar institutions in
Holland and Paris, in 1861. On completing his theological course

in 1838, before entering the active ministry, he was Instructor in
Sacred Literature in the Yale Divinity School for two years. He
was ordained pastor of the Union (Congregational) Church in
Marlborough, Massachusetts, December 2, 1840, continued there
seven years, and then from January, 1848, to May, 1851, filled
the pastorate of the Edwards Church, Northampton, Massachusetts.
Following ten years of pastoral work, he was for fifteen years
Professor of Biblical Literature in Lane Theological Seminary at
Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1863 he established The Theological Eclec-
tic, which he edited through seven volumes, when it was merged
with the Bibliotheca Sacra. While abroad in the summer of
1865 he purchased in Great Britain and on the continent large ad-
ditions for the library of Lane Seminary. In April, 1866, he re-
turned to New Haven as Professor of the Hebrew Language and
Literature and Biblical Theology in the Yale Divinity School, and
maintained his official connection with the school to the close of his
long life. The value of his services in the erection of the present
buildings was gratefully acknowledged by his associates, and his
self-sacrificing devotion to his work, both in instruction and outside
of the class-room, was manifest. In 1888 he became Dean of the
Divinity School, and for three or four years thereafter shared the
duties of his professorship with Professor Harper, afterwards
President of Chicago University. Upon his retirement from the
office of Dean in 1895, he was made Professor Emeritus.
Professor Day retained his enthusiasm for linguistic study, ac-
quiring new languages even in his later years. He translated from
the Dutch Van Oosterzee's " Biblical Theology of the Xew Testa-
ment" in 1871, and edited an American edition of Oehlers "Bib-
lical Theology of the Old Testament" in 1883. By taste and
experience he was well fitted for his share in the revision of the
English version of the Bible, and served as secretary of the Ameri-
can Revision Committee, and a member of the Old Testament
Company from its formation in 1871. He was thoroughly familiar
with the history and present condition of the great missionary work
of the church, and at his own expense collected and catalogued an
exceedingly valuable missionary library, now numbering about seven
thousand five hundred volumes. This he gave to the Yale Divinity
School, and also provided funds for its maintenance and increase.
He was active in efforts which resulted in the erection of a monu-
ment to Rev. John Robinson, the "Pilgrim" pastor in Leyden.
Professor Day died July 2, 1905, in his ninety-first year. In-
juries resulting from a fall had confined him to his house for fifteen
months previous. He married, in 1843, Amelia H., daughter of
Henry and Mary Oaks. She died in 1875, and he afterward mar-
ried Olivia Clarke Hotchkiss, who survives him. The latter was

Professor Day compiled "A Genealogical Register of the De-
scendants in the Male Line of Robert Day, of Hartford, Conn.,
who died in 1648," first edition, New Haven, 1840; second edition,
1848. He was a corresponding member of this Society from 1847,
a member of the Royal Asiatic Society of Japan, and a correspond-
ing member of the American Oriental Society from 1848.

Jacob Chester Chamberlain, B.A., M.S., died in Xew York,
July 28, 1905, aged forty-five. Descended in the seventh gener-
ation from William1 Chamberlain of England, whose appearance
of record in Xew England was in 1648, he was born in India,
July 3, 1860, eldest son of Jacob7 Chamberlain, M.D., D.D.
(Jacob,6 Isaac,5 Isaac,4 Jacob,3 Jacob2), and Charlotte (Birge)
Chamberlain, daughter of Chester Birge. He married at Albany,
New York, June 12, 1895, Annie Mary Irwin, daughter of Wil-
liam P. Irwin. Mrs. Chamberlain and an only child, Anna Irwin,
survive.
Having been graduated with honor from Rutgers College, New
Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1882, he took a post-graduate course
in chemistry, and thereafter devoted himself to electrical research
and engineering. He was actively connected with several of the
great electrical undertakings of the last twenty years in this country,
and patented important electrical inventions. A pioneer and leader
in the application of electric motive-power to boats, he was, at the
time of his death, general manager of the Automatic Refrigerating
Company. Holding the degree of Master of Science, he became
one of the early members of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers. He was one of the governing board of the New York
Engineers' Club, and an influential member of the Colonial Club,
the Marine Field Club, and the Grolier Club. In the objects of the
Grolier Club he was specially interested, and his collection of first
editions of early American authors was already regarded as one of
the best in the United States. To the enlarging and perfecting
of that collection, he was constantly and enthusiastically devoted.
He was also an experienced, accomplished genealogist. One of
the founders and most generous supporters of the Chamberlain
Association of America, he gave to it much of its early inspiration
in genealogical directions. At the time of his death he was en-
gaged in genealogical researches whose scope far exceeded the
Chamberlain ancestry in America. Yet his highest excellence was
not in his notable electrical discoveries and achievements ; nor in his
marked business success ; nor in his skilful, important work as

bibliophile and genealogist. His highest worth was in his character
and personal culture. He was faithful to the welfare of both his
city and his country. In him gentleness was blended with strength,
and amiableness with resolute integrity. Well born and well
brought up, he appeared, even to those who knew him most inti-
mately, to have no remotest inclination to any form of dishonor.
Comely, courteous, joyous, with a genius for friendship, he was the
light of his beautiful home, a centre of attraction among many
acquaintances, and an example of perfect uprightness in wide busi-
ness relations. He was, all in all, a Christian gentleman of rarely
noble type.
He was a resident member of this Society, elected in 1896.

Joseph Fostek, M.A., the antiquary and genealogist, was born
in Sunderland, England, March 9, 1844, the son of Joseph and
Elizabeth (Taylor) Foster. He was a nephew of Birket Foster,
the artist. Educated in private schools of Xorth Shields, Sunder-
land, and Xewcastle-on-Tyne, he inherited his genealogical faculty
from his grandfather, Myles Birket Foster. After editing four
volumes of Lancashire and Yorkshire pedigrees, he transcribed the
admission registers of the four Inns of Court, a herculean task,
extending over several years. The acquisition of the register of
our oldest University, coupled with those of the Inns of Court,
with which they dovetail, illustrating and annotating each other,
materially strengthened Mr. Foster's position ; but still, before he
could hope to grapple effectually with so arduous a task as the anno-
tation of the earlier "Alumni Oxoniensis," it was necessary that all
the Bishops' certificates of institutions to livings (since the reforma-
tion), now deposited in the Public Eecord Office, should be laid
under contribution, with the result that we have these 150,000
institutions, etc., alphabetically arranged as a clergy list, and have
Mr. Foster's greatest work comprised in eight volumes.
His best known critical work was undoubtedly "Chaos," under
which category he classed for the first time all known " soi-disant
baronets." "Chaos" formed a minor portion of the "Peerage,
Baronage and Knightarre," compiled and edited bv Mr. Foster in
1880-1884, for the pedigrees of which the records of the Heralds'
College were unreservedlv placed at his service. From the study
of this prolific worker have also emanated such useful works as
"Men at the Bar," "Scottish Members of Parliament, 1857-1882,"
"Gray's Inn Admission Register, 1521-1889," "Our Xoble and
Gentle Families of Royal Descent," and several minor family histo-
ries. Within recent years have been published "Some Feudal Coats
of Arms," "Two Tudor Books of Arms," "Some Feudal Lords and
MEMOIRS. lxvii
their Seats," and "Banners, Standards, and Badges," the last three
of which Mr. Foster edited for the De Walden Library.
Mr. Foster married, August 12, 1869, Catherine Clark, daugh-
ter of George Pocock. He was a corresponding member of this
Society, elected in 1883. He died in London, July 29, 1905.
This sketch is chiefly from the London Times.
Leander Miller Haskins, of Rockport, Massachusetts, who
died in that town, August 1, 1905, aged sixty-three, was a life
member of this Society from 1889. He was a native of Rockport,
born June 20, 1842, was fitted for college at Phillips Andover
Academy, and was graduated at Dartmouth College in 1862. He
then taught school in his native town, and afterwards employed him-
self in civil engineering. In 1863, during the Civil War, he was
appointed clerk in the commissary department of the army, and
was attached to the Nineteenth Army Corps. He became later a
clerk in the Xavy Department.
After the war, he engaged in the fish and commission business
on Long "Wharf, Boston, and in this business he was ensured at
the time of his death. He was one of the pioneers in the fish
isinglass business. He served as a representative in the legislature
for one year. He was a director in the Faneuil Hall National
Bank of Boston, and in the Rockport National Bank, and other cor-
porations ; and was a member of the Boston Art Club, and many
other organizations. He was also interested in yachting. He was
married, his wife dying some years before him, and he is survived
by an adopted daughter, Louise Canfield, of Montclair, New Jersey.
By his will, Mr. Haskins named his adopted daughter as residu-
ary legatee, and provided that there shall be established first a trust
fund of $65,000, to continue fifteen years after the execution of
the will. After enumerating how the income shall be distributed
among relatives and friends, direction was given that the income
of one thousand dollars be given to the First Congregational Church
of Rockport for general purposes, and the income of another thou-
sand to the public library in that place, for the purchase of books.
From the trust fund the following religious organizations in Pock-
port will receive the amounts named : First Congregational Church,
ten thousand dollars for a parsonage fund; Methodist, Baptist,
Universalist, Episcopal, and Catholic churches, each three hundred
dollars. The house and thirty acres of land in Rockport. and forty
acres more in Rockport, are to be used for hospital and park pur-
poses. After these provisions are carried out, ten thousand dollars
is to be set apart, the income to be used to aid worthy indigent
students of Rockport in taking courses in Dartmouth College or the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the first named to be pre-
ferred.

George Trumbull Hartshorn, A.M., was born in Worcester,
Massachusetts, October 20, 1860, and the only child of George
Franklin and Isabella Frink (Trumbull) Hartshorn.
He was fitted for college at Adams Academy, Quincy, and
entered Harvard in 1878. After graduating from Harvard College
in 1882, he pursued the study of chemistry, and, in 1883, took the
degree of Master of Arts. He was for three years instructor of
chemistry in Harvard College, working in association with Professor
Charles Jackson. In 1886 he gave up his work at Harvard and
went to Taunton, where for some years he went on with his chemi-
cal research work.
■ On November 17, 1891, he married Miss Alice Eoberts of Cam-
bridge, Massachusetts. They had one 6on, George Dean Harts-
horn. The last few years of Mr. Hartshorn's life were devoted
almost entirely to the study of musical composers and their works.
Of an intensely musical nature, and gifted with a rare facility of
playing easily any musical instrument, all branches of the study
interested him, and he collected a fine library of old and rare musi-
cal books.
Mr. Hartshorn died August 22, 1905, at his home in Taunton,
after an illness of several months. He was a resident member of
this Society, elected in 1892.

Frederick Hastings Rindge was born in Cambridge, Massa-
chusetts, December 21, 1857, and died in Yreka, California, Au-
gust 29, 1905. He was the son of Samuel Baker Rindge, a mer-
chant of large estate, whose acts of private beneficence and public
liberality have left a permanent impress upon Boston and Cambridge.
In early youth he attended the schools of Cambridge and Boston,
receiving his final preparation for college from Dr. James Laurence
Laughlin. During his vacations, and while a young lad, his mind
was broadened by extensive travel under the direction of his father.
In 1870 he went to California, and during 1871 and 1872 he visited
most of the places of interest in Europe. Entering Harvard Col-
lege, he was graduated in 1879. His whole life was an exempli-
fication of the stern rule of probity and religious adherence to the
principles which characterized his forefathers, softened by a gentle
consideration for the opinions of those differing from him, and by
charity for the frailties of the erring.
After the close of his college career, he was called to assume the
grave responsibilities of his father's estate. Those responsibilities
were borne in a manner surpassing the expectations of his most
sanguine friends, as the record of the many official and private
resolutions and testimonials from his native city, and his many
MEMOIRS. IxiX
benefactions, public improvements and religious endowments, in the
land of his chosen home on the Pacific Coast, show.
He was prostrated in the last year of his college course by an
illness, from which he suffered during the remainder of his life.
On May 27, 1887, he was married to Miss Rhoda May Knight,
of Trenton, Michigan, the daughter of James and Rhoda Lathrop
Knight, and from this marriage were born two sons and a daugh-
ter : — Samuel Knight, at Los Angeles, April 9, 1888 ; Frederick
Hastings, Jr., at Redondo, September 5, 1890 ; and Rhoda Agatha,
at Santa Monica, April 20, 1893.
Early in his California life, Mr. Rindge purchased the historic
Rancho Topanga Malibu, a tract of many thousands of acres of most
picturesque mountain, valley and canon. Here he erected a com-
modious residence, and in his charming book, " Happy Days in
Southern California," he has given a graphic account of this moun-
tain home and his happy life there with his family.
A few years since he changed his residence to Santa Monica, of
which he was one of the most enterprising and progressive citizens.
The evils of intemperance had been impressed upon his heart
from his youth, and he gave neither countenance nor excuse for the
sale of intoxicating spirits. He devoted his best energies to abolish
the traffic. A member and trustee of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Santa Monica, by his generosity the religious edifice was
greatly enlarged, beautified, and furnished. ]STor did his activities
in the religious life cease with his removal to Los Angeles. He
wrote for private distribution several books of meditations, and
upon his election as President of the Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation in Los Angeles he instituted measures which in their fruition
will give to that organization a home whose equal does not exist
upon the Pacific Coast. He once said : " I derive the greatest sat-
isfaction in my life in Christian work."
In his private charities, and relief for the destitute, lie took none
into his entire confidence, and not until the great record shall be
read will be known the story of all his good deeds.
His public benefactions have for the most part become known.
In testimonial of the love for his native place, and the home of his
ancestors, he erected and presented to the city of Cambridge its
municipal building, a public library, and the Didactic Public
Buildings, and he founded and supported for many years the
Manual Training School for boys. In Salem, he founded and en-
dowed the Children's Island Sanitarium.
In the management of his estate, with keen foresight and dis-
criminating judgment he invested largely in California, principally
in the central and southern sections, and with the improvements
made thereon, these have greatly increased in value. As a re-

laxation from his many business obligations, he gave considerable
attention to scientific research and the early history of America.
He was a life member of the Xew England Historical and Genea-
logical Society, elected in 1885, and of the Archaeological Institute
of America. His collections in numismatics and in the aboriginal
fine arts were of such value, that he was induced to place them in
the loan exhibition of the Peabodv Museum of Harvard College
and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts ; and in the hall, erected as
an annex to his spacious mansion in Los Angeles, he gathered an
exhibit of the Pacific Coast archaeology, and memorials of the early
history of California, which has no equal among private collections.
Upon the instititution of The Harvard Club of Southern Cali-
fornia, he was unanimously elected its President ; and in view of the
expected visit to Los Angeles of Mr. Roosevelt, who was his friend
and associate in college, he was elected for a second term.
Mr. Rindge was a descendant of Robert Kinsman, of England,
who was born in 1629, and came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony,
settling in Ipswich. His daughter Mary was married to Captain
Daniel Rindge of Ipswich.
Mr. Rindoe was also a descendant of Daniel Harrington, who
was born and died in Lexington, Massachusetts, a participant in the
fight of Lexington and Concord, and who gave patriotic service
during the War of the Revolution, retiring with the rank of Cap-
tain. Plis young son, Levi Harrington, was drummer of his father's
company, and participated in the siege of Boston and in subsequent
campaigns. He was also descended from Samuel Baker, one of the
Ipswich Company, which marched for the relief of Lexington on
April 19, 1775.

Tlsiothy Tucoipsox Sawter, Litt.D., was born in Charles-
town, Massachusetts, January 7, 1817, the son of "William and
Susanna (Thompson) Sawyer. His father was a descendant of
Thomas Sawyer who settled in Lancaster, Massachusetts, in 1634.
Mr. Sawyer's mother was the daughter of Timothy and Mary
(Frothingham) Thompson of Charlestown, who were descendants
of James Thompson and William Frothingham, both of whom
were members of the company who came over with Governor Win-
throp, to establish a colony, in 1630.
Mr. Sawyer's uncle was engaged in the hardware and ship chand-
lery business in Merchants' Row, and there when he was fourteen
years old, Mr. Sawyer commenced his business career, and there
he remained until the death of his uncle, June 27, lt-37. He then
engaged in the ship chandlery business on his own account, until a
promising opportunity offered to join a new firm to engage in the

shipment of ice. The style of the Ice Company was originally
Gage, Hittinger and Company, afterwards Gage, Sawyer and Com-
pany. The business was interesting and successful, and Mr. Saw-
yer continued in it until 1860.
Mr. Sawyer was a director in the Bunker Hill Bank, from 1851
until his death, and was president from 1885 to 1890. In 1854 he
was chosen one of the trustees of the Warren Institution for Sav-
ings, and was president of the Institution from 1880 till 1903,
when he resigned on account of advanced age. After holding
many minor offices in Charlestown, Mr. Sawyer was mayor of the
city for three years, 1855-1857, and was in 1857 also a member
of the House of Representatives of Massachusetts. In 1858 he
was a member of the Senate. In 1872, after the resignation of
Edward Lawrence, the first president of the Mystic Water Board,
he was chosen Mr. Lawrence's successor, and held the position until
Charlestown was annexed to Boston. Afterwards, when the Cochit-
uate and Mystic Water Boards were merged and the new Boston
Water Board commenced its duties, he was chosen chairman of that
Board, and held the position for the three years succeeding.
Mr. Sawyer has shown some literary ability and has written
many articles for the local papers. Some of these articles have
been assembled in a book of over five hundred pages, entitled :r Old
Charlestown, Historical, Biographical, Reminiscent." The book is
an interesting and graceful memorial of the many eminent citizens
who have in times past lived under the shadow of Bunker Hill.
But it is more than that. It is a complete illustration of the author's
abounding loving kindness towards his fellow men.
Mr. Sawyer was one of the original organizers and one of the
most efficient promoters of the Public Library of Charlestown, and
gave to it liberally from his private funds. He was president of its
board of managers from the time of its opening, January 1st, 1862,
until it became a branch of the Boston Public Library, after the
two cities were annexed in 1874. He was for many years chair-
man of the standing committee of the First Universalis! Church
in Charlestown. For more than forty years, he was one of the
board of trustees of Tufts College. In 1903 the degree of Litt.
D. was conferred upon him by the college.
Mr. Sawyer was a citizen of Charlestown until the fall of 1885,
when he removed to Dartmouth Street in Boston. He died in
Magnolia, Massachusetts, September 4, 1905. He was a most
lovable gentleman, actuated through his long career by the highest
and best motives only, rejoicing in and aiding the successes or
sympathizing in and relieving the failures of others, dispensing
affectionate good cheer to the world he met, and ever striving to
make it a better and happier world for his having lived in it. He
was a resident member of this Society, admitted in 1884.

Elijah Brigham Phillips, (Ebenezer Morgan,7 Dr. Ebenezer
Humphrey,6 Ensign Jonathan,6 Joseph,4 Theophilus,3 Rev. George,*
Christopher1), was born in West Sutton, Massachusetts, August
20, 1819, and died at his home in Brookline, September 13, 1905.
His ancestry of the seventeenth century was wholly of the Puritan
migration and within the Bay Colony. The three best known of that
clergy were among his ancestors, George Phillips of Watertown,
Richard Mather of Dorchester, and John Cotton of Boston.
Mr. Phillips's schooling was obtained in the Westborough village
schools, supplemented by a year at Leicester Academy. He was,
his life long, an insatiable reader. He commanded a style in his
correspondence and reports, ready, clear and direct. He liked to
recall that as a boy he had trundled flour on his barrow from the
Concord store to the door of the Philosopher. When nineteen
years old, he entered the employ of the Boston and Worcester Rail-
road Company at Boston, and thus began an exceptional career of
fifty years in railroad service. These years coincided with the half
century which witnessed the commencement and development of
steam transportation, with all which that meant to the world. He
played a not unimportant part in that development. He was in
turn Boston freight agent of the Company, its general agent, and
its master of transportation.
In 1852 he was called to Ohio, as superintendent of the Cleve-
land, Norwalk and Toledo Railroad, then building. Six years
later he returned to Boston, as superintendent of the Boston and
Worcester Railroad, where he remained seven years. He was
elected in September, 18G5, president of the Michigan Southern
and Northern Indiana, which Company united with its neighbor, in
1869, to form the present Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, and
he was the first president of the consolidated company. The fol-
lowing year he organized the Phillips and Colby Construction
Company to build the Wisconsin Central. For several years he
operated it in conjunction with the Milwaukee Northern.
In May, 1879, he was chosen president of the Eastern Railroad
of Massachusetts. Shortly after, he was one of a commission of
three to arbitrate between the State and the Fitchburg Railroad.
The early part of 1883 he devoted to the management of the
Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad; later in that year he
was elected president of the Fitchburg Railroad. Four years of
negotiations with the governor and his council representing the
State ownership of the Hoosac Tunnel, and with the two corpora-
tions immediately to the west of it, resulted in the union of the four
properties in one organization. He retired from railroad affairs in
1890, having completed a half century of strenuous railroad work,
during which he had been foremost in introducing, as railroad science
memoirs. lxxiii
progressed, the many new methods and appliances which made for
efficiency, economy and safety.
As the late Henry Pratt of the Michigan Central Railroad said
of him, he was "a good disciplinarian; he set an example of fidel-
ity ; he hated shams ; faithful to the interests committed to his
care; straightforward; an example of commercial honesty." Bishop
Charles Edward Cheney, of Chicago, speaks of: — "The Christian
faith, the spotless integrity, the fidelity to conscience, the family
affection, the never wavering loyalty to friends which marked the
long life of Elijah Brigham Phillips."
He married, February 2, 1845, Maria Rebecca, daughter of
Henry (born in 1784 in Walberton, co. Sussex, England) and
Mehitable (Copeland) Ayling, of Boston. A devoted and happy
union of forty-nine years was severed by the death of his wife, May
2, 1894. Their three children survive them.
Mr. Phillips became a resident member of this Society in 1890.
Hon. James Madison Barker, LL.D., of Pittsfield, Massa-
chusetts, Judge of the Supreme Court of the State, died suddenly
in Boston, October 3, 1905. He was a resident member of the
Society since 1901. He was born in Pittsfield, October 23, 1839,
the son of John V. and Sarah (Apthorp) Barker.
He enjoyed the best educational advantages, preparing for col-
lege in the public schools of his native town, at Hinsdale Academy
and at Williston Seminary. Entering Williams College in 1856,
he was graduated with high rank in the class of 1860. He studied
law, first in a law office at Bath, New York, and in 1862 and 1863
at Harvard Law School. In the latter year he was admitted to the
Massachusetts bar, and at once formed a partnership with Major
Charles N. Emerson of Pittsfield, a lawyer of note, who served
with distinction through the Civil War. Two years later, Major
Emerson was appointed to the internal revenue service, and Mr.
Barker became associated with Thomas P. Pingree in the practice
of the law, the partnership continuing until Judge Barker's elevation
to the bench. This was in November, 1882, when a vacancy oc-
curred on the Superior Court bench.
His wide knowledge of the law, keenness of comprehension, ana-
lytic quality of mind, and aptitude for clear incisive statement, con-
tributed to his success as a judge, and the record shows that while
on that bench his rulings were upheld in large measure upon appeal
to the Supreme Court. His reputation for courtesy and firmness
was equally in his favor, and when Judge William Allen died, in
1891, he was appointed to the vacant seat on the bench of the
Supreme Judicial Court. Before his connection with the judicial
branch of government removed him from active participation in

politics, Mr. Barker was prominent in the councils of the Republican
party. He was in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in
1872 and 1873, serving on the Committee on Railroads. In con-
sequence of the great fire in Boston, which occurred on the 9th and
10th of November, 1872, the Legislature was convened in special
session. It was during this extra session that the memorable reso-
lution censuring Charles Sumner was adopted by a vote of 103 yeas
and 66 nays. Mr. Barker was recorded in the negative.
Near the close of the session of 1874 a resolve authorizing the
appointment of a commission to" inquire into the expediency of re-
vising and amending the laws of the State relating to the taxation
and exemptions therefrom was passed, and Mr. Barker was appointed
on the commission. In 1881 and 1882, Mr. Barker was a member
of the State* Commission to revise the Public Statutes. In June,
1880, Mr. Barker was a member of the delegation sent by Massa-
chusetts to the Republican National Convention at Chicago. He
was foremost among the opponents of a third term for General
Grant. He also was a worker for the civil service reform plank
that went into the platform of that year.
Mr. Barker married at Bath, New York, September 21, 1862,
Helena, daughter of Levi Carter and Pamelia (Nelson) "Whiting.

By his second marriage he had three children, Raj, Ellen Parker,
who died when an infant, and Emma. After his second marriage,
he removed from Dorchester to Brookline.
Mr. Atherton was a member of the Union Club of Boston, and
trustee of several estates.
Rev. Myron Samuel Dudley, A.M., a resident member of this
Society since 1899, died November 17, 1905. At the time of his
death he was acting pastor of the Congregational Church in New-
ington, New Hampshire. He was born in Peru, Vermont, Febru-
ary 20, 1837, was graduated with honor at Williams College in
1863, and from Union Theological Seminary in 1869, and also
studied a year in Andover Theolgical Seminary. He was acting

1871 ; acting pastor, Peacham, Vermont, 1871— '72 ; pastor, Crom-
well, Connecticut, 1874—1885. Later he had pastorates in North
Wilbraham, Massachusetts, 1886-89, and Nantucket, 1889-97.
He was^a descendant of the Dudleys of Concord, Massachusetts,
through Francis,1 Samuel,2 Samuel,3 Stephen,4 Gen. Peter,5 and
Gen. Stephen8, his father. ("Dudley Family," page 599.) His
parents were Stephen and Lydia (Davis) Dudley. He received
his education first in the common schools, and later in academies in
Londonderry, Vermont, and Manchester, Vermont. At first he
had planned to become a civil engineer, and at one time he taught
Latin and Greek in Burr and Burton Seminary, at Manchester,
Vermont. In 1863, while teaching school in place of a brother, in
Kentucky, he carried out his resolution to enter the army. There-
fore he returned to Vermont, and enlisted in the Fifth Vermont
Volunteers, then stationed in Virginia. From a private in this
veteran regiment he rose through the grades of sergeant and first
lieutenant to the position of captain. He was wounded in the
Battle of the Wilderness, but shared, however, with his regiment
in the victories of the Shenandoah Valley, and in the campaign
about Petersburg. He was mustered out with his regiment in
June, 1865.
He was married first to Martha M. Hale, August 20, 1873, who
died July 20, 1876. By this marriage he had a daughter, who
died young. He was married second to Sarah D. Todd, a daughter
of Rev. John Todd, D.D., the well-known author. This wife died
October 26, 1884; and he was married third to Mary Elizabeth
Marrett, September 14, 1892, who survives him.
He published a " Historial Sermon at the re-dedication of the
Congregational Church, Peacham, Vt., 1874"; a "History of
Cromwell, Conn.," 1881; "Funeral Sermon of Ira Hutchinson,
M.D.," Cromwell, 1881 ; a sketch of Cromwell, in the History of
lxxvi N. E. HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
Middlesex County, Connecticut, 1884. He had also written a
history of his college class : " Class of Sixty-Three, Williams Col-
lege. By the Class Historian, 1903." And there were other pub-
lications. His history of Cromwell, Connecticut, his studies in
the early history of Nantucket, and his memoir of Edward Griffin
Porter, president of this Society, were all marked by his character-
istic thoroughness. He was a man of great public spirit, and in-
terested especially in civil service reform, and in forestry and village
improvement.
After joining this Society, Mr. Dudley became a very active
member, and was appointed on the committee on the library. One
of his earliest duties was the preparation of a memoir of its presi-
dent for the Register, which was afterwards published separately.
The article on the "Churches and Pastors of Xantucket, Mass.,
from the First Settlement to the Present Time," in the Register,
January, 1902, was enlarged and published separately, as was also
his article entitled "Historical Sketch of Xewington, Mew Hamp-
shire," July, 1904.
Rev. James Davie Butler, D.D., LL.D., of Madison, Wis-
consin, a corresponding member of this Society since 1847, died
Xovember 20, 1905, at the age of ninety-one.
He was born March 15, 1815, in Rutland, Vermont. In his
letter of acceptance, dated from Xorwich University, March 20,
1847, and still preserved, he mentions a manuscript volume giving
a history of his family, and the fact that he was a member of the
Xew York Historical Society ; and that he presented to the Xew
England Historic Genealogical Society the first pamphlet published
by the Vermont Historical Society. His family, he said, originated
in Massachusetts.
From a notice published in 1888, the following facts are gleaned.
His father settled in Rutland, Vermont, in 1787, but was born
in Boston, Avhere his lineage is traced from 1637.
Mr. Butler was graduated at Middlebury College in 1836, with
high honor. After a year in Yale theological seminary, he returned
to Middlebury and served five years as a tutor. He finished his
course in Andover theological seminary, and was immediately elected
Abbot resident. During the second year of his residence he ac-
cepted an invitation from Prof. Edwards A. Park to accompany
him to Europe. Their passage (in 1842) lasted forty-seven days.
After a stormy return passage he reached America near the close
of 1843. He was advised to prepare European lectures, and did
so, and one or another of these descriptions he was invited to de-
liver more than three hundred times in, or near, Xew England.

for half a year, be became a professor in Norwich (Military) Uni-
versity, now the Military College of Vermont, of which, at one
time, he was acting president. He resigned his position there in
1847. He was pastor of churches in Wells River, Vt., South
Danvers (now Peabody), Ma68., and in Cincinnati, O., followed
by professorships of Greek in Wabash College, Crawfordville, In-
diana, and in the State University of Wisconsin, at Madison.
In 1867 he again went abroad, extending his travels to the
Orient, and to other European countries which he had not before
visited.
In 1869, he penetrated into the Yosemite, and crossed to the
Sandwich Islands in a sailing bark, and reached the volcano Kilauea.
He visited Europe a third and fourth time, in 1878 and 1884.
He passed down into Colorado, Mexico, and Cuba. In 1883, he
entered Portland, Oregon, by the first train on the Northern Pa-
cific, and then went on through the Puget Sound to British Colum-
bia. In 1890, then in his seventy-sixth year, he undertook a tour
around the globe. It was accomplished in seventeen months, and
he went alone.
He was elected to the American Antiquarian Society in Worces-
ter at a date that ranks his name as one of the earliest members on
its roll.
His writings were widely circulated. One of the most notable,
from the literary standpoint, was his paper on words used once for
all in Shakespeare. His lecture on " Commonplace Books " was
called for more than a hundred times.
He was married, in 1847, to Anna, daughter of Joshua Bates,
President of Middlebury College, by whom he had four children.
George Allen Dary died at his home in Roxbury, Massa-
chusetts, on December 30, 1905. He was born in Taunton, Massa-
chusetts, November 30, 1842. His father was George Leonard
Dary, the son of Allen Dary, a farmer of Rehoboth, and a soldier
of the war of 1812. Allen's father was John Dary, a private in
the Revolutionary War, and John was the son of Lewis Dary, the
first of the family name in this country.
George Allen Dary took great interest in genealogical 6tudy, and
published the Dary Genealogy in 1903. He was a member of the
Society of Mayflower Descendants, the Sons of Colonial Wars, and
Sons of the Revolution. His father dying when the son was only
six years old, and the mother when the son was only thirteen, he
was placed under the care of a guardian in Taunton until the year
1855, when, coming to Boston, he entered the law office of Samuel
E. Sewall, and was admitted to the Suffolk Bar in 1872. He was
later a partner in the firm of Sewall and Angell, and then of Sew-

all and Dary. He held many trusts, which he administered with
most scrupulous care. He was regarded a6 a most expert and re-
liable conveyancer. He was a founder and a member of the Ab-
stract Club, the Massachusetts Title Insurance Company, and the
Conveyancers Title Insurance Company. In 1901 he was chosen
Government expert to report all the titles for the Nahant fortifica-
tions. He examined the title of the various purchases of Presi-
dent Cleveland at Gray Gables.
Among other things he was extremely fond of music. For many
years he was on the music committee of the First Religious Society
of Roxbury. He attended the Symphony Orchestra concerts from
the first, and was a contributing member of the Philharmonic So-
ciety and the Orpheus Musical Association.
His greatest rest and pleasure was in out-of-door life. He was
fond of the deep woods and of fishing with the fly. Fifteen years
in succession he passed his summer vacations camping in the woods
of Maine and New Brunswick.
He shunned prominence as much as others seek it. He had no
desire to be known by many, but valued highly the friendship and
loyalty of a few. He was absolutely honest, and never had any
money which he did not earn by hard wTork. He was a most in-
dustrious man ; worked hard and fast at his desk, and frequently
until late in the evening ; was worried if every account was not paid
and up to date, and every probate account allowed. At his death,
— unforeseen by him, — he left all his papers, accounts, and affairs,
in as perfect condition as if he had known the hour of it months in
advance.
He was a resident member of the Society, elected in 1899.

[The following sketch of Hon. Ira Davenport, arranged for by the late Rev. Dr.
Adams, was not found until after the sketch on page liii was printed.]
Ira Davenport. His grandfather, Noah Davenport, was a sol-
dier in the Revolutionary War, and his maternal grandfather, Du-
gald Cameron, was a prominent citizen of Steuben County, New
York, in its early development, having come from Scotland in the
latter part of the 18th century. Ira Davenport, the father of the
subject of this sketch, when a young man, removed from Columbia
County, New York, to Steuben County, where he established his
home and married Lydia, the daughter of the above-mentioned
Dugald Cameron. The late Ira Davenport was the youngest child
of this marriage.

of the management of important interests in various States, but he

found time to devote himself to all measures which he believed
would make for the material and intellectual welfare of the people
of his county. He was largely instrumental in securing for the
town of Bath the New York State Soldiers' and Sailors' Home.
He endowed liberally the Davenport Home for Female Orphan
Children at Bath, an institution founded by his father, and he left to
the village of Bath the library which bears his name, with a fund to
properly maintain it. In politics he was a member of the Bepubli-
can party.
In 1877 he entered public life. In that year he was elected to
the State Senate, and in 1879 was re-elected to the same office.
During the four years he served as a Senator in the New York
Legislature he made such an impression upon his party and the
people of the State that in 1881 he was nominated and elected
comptroller, in which office he demonstrated his sterling business
methods and sagacity. In 1884 he was elected a representative in
Congress, and the following year his party honored him by naming
him as its candidate for Governor of the State ; but the Democratic
party carried the election and he was defeated. In 1886 he was
re-elected to Congress, and at the end of his second term he retired
to private life. In 1887 he married Katharine, only daughter of
General George H. Sharpe of Kingston, New York.
Mr. Davenport was a wide reader, a man fond of and versed in
the humanities, of a nature broadly tolerant, keen of insight and
humor, a lover and judge of painting. Public honors were never
sought by him ; they came to him unsolicited, and evidenced the
esteem in which he was held by his county, his district, and his
State.

ROBERT CHARLES WINTHROP, JR., A.M.
By Henry Herbeet Edes, Esq.
Robert Charles Winthrop, the younger of that name, was
born in his father's house, No. 7 Tremont Place, Boston, on the 7th
of December, 1834, the elder son of Robert Charles and Eliza
Cabot (Blanchard) Winthrop. Descended from forebears who for
many generations had occupied a distinguished place in society and
in all branches of the public service, he never forgot the admonition
of Young that —
" They that on glorious ancestors enlarge
Produce their debt, instead of their discharge."
Neither should his biographer fail to remember that " no man is
wholly accounted for, or known as well as he can be, who is studied
apart from the genealogical tree on which he grew."
The line of Mr. Winthrop's descent from Adam1 Winthrop, of
Lavenham, in the county of Suffolk, England, who was living in
1498, was through Adam2 (1498-1562), of Groton Manor, Suffolk,
Master of the Clothworkers Company of London; Adam3 (1548-
1623), of Groton Manor, a lawyer and county magistrate; John4
(1587-1649), of Groton Manor, afterward Governor of the Colony
of the Massachusetts Bay, and the founder of Boston in Xew Eng-
land ; John, Jr.* (1605-1676), of Groton Manor, afterward of
Ipswich, Massachusetts, and New London, Connecticut, Fellow of
the Royal Society of London, and Governor of the Colony of Con-
necticut; Wait Still6 (1642-1717), of Boston, Commissioner of
the United Colonies of New England, Major-General of the Colony,
and Executive Councillor and Chief- Justice of the Province of the
Massachusetts Bay; John7 (1681-1747), of Boston, afterward
of New London, Connecticut, a graduate of Harvard College in
the Class of 1700, Fellow of the Royal Society, and the plaintiff in
the cause celebre of Winthrop v. Lechmere, which was an appeal
to the Privy Council from the decision of the Connecticut Courts
involving the English law of primogeniture; John Still8 (1720-
1776), of Boston, afterward of New London, Connecticut, a gradu-
vol. lx. 16
224 Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. TJuly?
ate of Yale College in the Class of 1737 ; Thomas Lindall,8 LL.D.
(1760-1841), of New London and later of Boston, a graduate of
Harvard in the Class of 1780, and an Overseer of the College
(1828-1841), member of the American Philosophical Society,
Treasurer of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Historical Society and of the American
Antiquarian Society, Fellow of the Royal Society of Northern An-
tiquaries and of other learned bodies in Europe, and from 1826
till 1833 Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts; and Robert
Charles,10 LL.D. (1809-1894), of Boston, a graduate of Har-
A'ard in the Class of 1828, President of the Alumni Association,
and an Overseer of the College (1852-1856), in the Corporation of
which he had twice refused a seat, member of the American Philo-
sophical Society, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Society
of Antiquaries of London, and other learned societies abroad, Presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Speaker of the Massa-
chusetts House of Representatives and of the Thirtieth Congress,
and a Senator of the United States from Massachusetts, succeeding
Daniel Webster.
Mr. Winthrop's mother was born in Boston on the 27th of May,
1809. She was the daughter of Francis Blanchard, Esq., of "Wen-
ham, Massachusetts, and later of Boston, a graduate of Harvard in
the remarkable Class of 1802, who studied law with Judge Charles
Jackson and became his law partner before his appointment to the
Bench of the Supreme Judicial Court in 1813, the year in which
Mr. Blanchard died on the 26th of June. On the 29th of August,
1808, he had married his second cousin, Mary Ann Cabot, daugh-
ter of Francis and Ann (Clarke) Cabot and widow of Nathaniel
Cabot Lee of Salem, who died on the 25th of July, 1809, soon
after the birth of her daughter, who, in Novemher, 1814, was taken
into the family of her father's uncle, Samuel Pickering Gardner,
where she remained until her marriage to Robert Charles Winthrop
on the 12th of March, 1832. She died on the 14th of June, 1842,
leaving three children, of whom the eldest is the subject of this
notice.
More mis;ht be said of those distintruished ancestors of Mr. Win-
throp who bore the names of Dudley, Bowdoin, and Temple, to
name no others, but enough has already been told to show the en-
vironment in which he was born and bred and to account for his
inheritance of abilities of a hiajh order.
Owing to the early death of his mother and the absence of his
father in "Washington in the public service, much of Mr. Winthrop's
boyhood was spent with his kinsfolk in Salem and elsewhere. One
of his cousins recently recalled the picture of young Winthrop
lying upon the floor of his uncle's library devouring Scott's novels
and other of the best English literature of that day, utterly oblivious
of all that was passing around him.
1906.] Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. 225
Mr. Winthrop received his early education in the private school
of Mr. John Adam Weisse,* in Roxbury, in whose establishment
he was a boarding pupil from 1840 to 1847, when he went abroad
with his father. Of this, their first, visit to Europe, the son thus
speaks in his Memoir of his father :
" He had friends and relatives both in England and France, and he took
with him flattering letters of introduction from Mr. Webster and Mr.
Everett, which made his first experience of London society an exception-
ally agreeable one. In a fragment of autobiography privately printed by
him not long before his death and now to be found in many public
libraries, he gave some account of his intercourse with European celebri-
ties at different periods, and it need only be mentioned here that among
the persons of distinction of whom he was privileged to see a good deal in
1847 were the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the poet Rogers, the
historians Thiers, Mignet, Milman, Thirlwall and Hallam, Archbishop
Whately, Bishops Wilberforce and Blomfield, Lord Landsdowne (then
President of the Council), Lords Aberdeen and Stanley (both afterward
prime ministers), Prince Louis Napoleon (then in exile in London), and
King Louis Philippe, who twice received Mr. "Winthrop informally at
Neuilly" (page 64).
Returning home in the autumn of 1847 from an experience which
cannot have failed to make a lasting impression upon his youthful
mind, young Winthrop, then well advanced in his studies, entered
the Boston Public Latin School, where his father and grandfather
had been prepared for college, as well as seven other members of
his family, Professor John Winthrop, of the Class of 1721, who
graduated at Harvard College in 1732, having been the first. In
1848 he left the School, where the course was then five years, and
entered Phillips Academy, Andover, where he remained till 1850,
when he entered Harvard, from which he graduated in 1854.
Of Mr. Winthrop's college life, the following extracts from let-
ters of a few of his classmates and contemporaries not classmates
will furnish an interesting glimpse :

Street, on an estate subsequently owned by Roland Worthington. John Chandler
Bancroft (H. C. 1854) and the Rev. Dr. Alfred Porter Putnam (B. U. 184S) were also
pupils of Mr. Weisse between 1840 and 1847. Nicholas Weisse, Sr., of Roxbury was
his brother. Mr. Weisse married, 27 June, 1841, Jane Lee, daughter of William Hunt,
of Watertown, Mass., and his wife Jane, daughter of George and Mary (Faneuil)
Bethune, of Boston. Mrs. Weisse compiled : Records, Genealogical Charts, and Tra-

at that time, who continued to appreciate him while they lived, were John
Quincy Adams, Theodore Chase, George B. Chase, Langdon Erving,
"William Frick, Jr., John C. Bancroft, "William S. Haseltine, James Savage,
Charles Russell Lowell, "William Thorndike, and S. Parkman Blake; and
Charles Francis Adame, Dr. Hall Curtis, George Putnam, Robert H. Ren-
shaw, Dr. B. Joy Jeffries, and Horace H. Furness are among the living
who cared for him.
"Winthrop was popular with his class ; his abilities were recognized and
he was made Class Orator. He had plenty of brains, but was more dis-
posed to use them in reading than in studying what did not interest him.
.... "With more work [he] could have been celebrated as a lawyer or poli-
tician in the best sense, but he preferred to read, work in his library or
travel and lead the life of a cultivated gentleman. He was fond of detail,
accurate and methodical, and would have made a good business man had
he been obliged to turn his attention in that direction. He was indolent
about exercise. With a large frame he might, as his classmate Dr. Wind-
ship, the well known strong man, told him, have become an athlete,
though the fashion did not then point in that direction for fame. . . . He
was most loyal to his old friends and took a good deal of pains to see them.
II.
In college he made no mark as a student, although always a reader, and
endowed with an extraordinary memory for what he read. Here, as in
after life, his bookish interests were mainly in history, especially Ameri-
can history. He was, however, indifferent to the way in which history,
and indeed most other things, were then taught at Harvard ; and when
called up at recitation he was apt to say nothing or to say " not prepared."
Once, however, the story goes, after a long series of these " not prepareds"
he was called up for examination in the presence of the Visiting Commit-
tee, and at once gave a fluent talk upon the point in question for almost
five minutes, and until told he need go no further.
His main distinction in the Class lay in his inherited faculty as a presid-
ing officer. He was at the head of the two great clubs, the Porcellian and
the Hasty Pudding,* and was usually selected to preside at any Class elec-
tion or meeting. He belonged to neither of the Greek letter societies, and
in their contests in the Hasty Pudding Club he, as President, sometimes
maintained the balance of power in a salutary, if, perhaps, somewhat des-
potic, way.
III.
In college Winthrop lived rather apart. He appeared to wholly neg-
lect his studies, and except by a small circle of intimates he was very
little known. In the last two years of his college course, however, he ac-
quired a reputation as an admirable presiding officer and amateur actor in
the Hasty Pudding Club, and he was always selected, as a matter of
course, to preside at all festivities of the Class, both before and after grad-
uation. He was outside of the bitter hostilities of the Class factions and
was chosen Class Orator by a compromise as one whom neither faction ob-
jected to. . . . On our twenty-fifth anniversary [24 June, 1879] he gave
[at Young's] a dinner to the Class at which he presided with the same fe-
licity and charm which had characterized him. in college days.
* Mr. Winthrop was also a member of the Institute of 1770.

He was certainly a man of cultivation and literary distinction. ... I
remember thinking his oration witty, able, and worthy of his reputation.
V.
He was popular with his Class but not with the Faculty. . . . Kathar-
ine Winthrop whom he defended was my ancestor, and he sent me his
" Defence " of her. The spirit is the same he had in college days versus
the Faculty.
VI.
His Oration was rather more jocular and sarcastic, but at the same time
more interesting, than such performances are generally apt to be. On the
evening, I think it must have been, of Class Day, there was a supper in
Mr. Winthrop's room, the memory of which long lasted in college ; it has
perhaps not yet entirely faded away.
VII.
It was his utter lack of ambition which caused his failure to take any
rank, but all his classmates knew the power and force that was in him, if
he could but be induced to put them forth. . . . Although he had no col-
lege rank, which is never an ultimate criterion, so deeply had his talents
and ability impressed themselves upon his classmates that he was elected,
almost without opposition, their Class Orator.
It was through no direct fault of his own that his degree was taken
away from him. His offense in the eyes of the Faculty was that he had
provided means for au entertainment on the evening of Class Da)- a lit-
tle too lavish for the occasion. . . . The supper was given in one of the
rooms of Holworthy, on the ground floor, and its distinguishing feature
was that it was open to all the world and not restricted to any. Class. The
Faculty, I believe, looked upon it as an act of bravado on Winthrop's
part. No thought of this, I am sure, entered Winthrop's mind. It was
merely done in the exuberance of his gratitude to his classmates for hav-
ing elected him their Orator, — an election which, it was said, keenly grati-
fied his father.
The withholding of Mr. Winthrop's first degree was only tempo-
rary, and it was conferred at the next Commencement, in 1855.
He received his Master's degree in 1858.
After Mr. Winthrop's death, one of his classmates prepared for
the College Class Book a brief sketch from which the following ex-
tracts are taken :
Robert C. Winthrop, Jr., would have been more at place in Cambridge
after the College became a liberal University.
Placed so that he was free to follow the bent of his mind and the inter-
ests surrounding his position, he developed his critical acumen and became
a very interested and interesting member of the genealogical and histori-
cal societies of his State and City.
Those of his Class who knew him well and saw him often, could not but
have been surprised in later years, at the recital of his pleasant Cambridge
reminiscences, called up by talk of the past.
If he and the Faculty never exactly agreed, he arid his classmates always
did, as shown by the prominence they accorded him so readdy. The for-
mer seemed never quite to understand him, the latter did more loyally.
228 Robert Charles Winlhrop, Jr. [July,
After graduation, Mr. Winthrop spent a year in the Harvard
Law School under Professors Joel Parker and Theophilus Parsons,
and then entered the law office of Mr. Leverett Saltonstall. He
was admitted to the Suffolk Bar in 1857, but never practised.
On the 15th of October, 1857, Mr. Winthrop was married, in
Boston, to Frances Pickering Adams, youngest daughter of Mr.
Benjamin Adams, and immediately sailed for Europe. Till Mrs.
Winthrop's death, their time was passed in travelling, the winters
being divided between the south of France, Malta, and Italy,
while the summers were devoted to Paris, England, and Germany.
Mrs. Winthrop died, childless, in Rome on the 23d of April, 1860,
at the age of twenty-four. Early in the following summer Mr.
Winthrop returned to America, and from that time till 1866 he
made frequent short trips to Europe, generally confining his travels
to France and England. In the autumn of 1866 he again went
abroad, remaining two years, during which time, in addition to
long stays in Paris, he visited Spain, Portugal, Russia, and Italy.
Besides travel and sightseeing, Mr. Winthrop found time while in
Europe for the study of languages and to familiarize himself with
European politics of which his knowledge was thorough.
One of his contemporaries writes that —
With the history of modern Europe, especially on its family and gene-
alogical side, lie was as familiar as with that of America. The Almanach
de Gotha he had at his fingers' end, almost at his tongue's end, and he was
apt to reply to any question, " You will find that iu the Almanach."
Mr. Winthrop was a good French scholar, and his command of
Spanish and Italian was sufficient for all purposes of travel and
sightseeing. A connoisseur in art, he knew little of music although
he enjoyed the Opera. As a young man and in early middle life
he was an inveterate theatre-goer ; later, however, he cared only
for really fine acting ; but whenever there was a good French
company in Boston he rarely missed a single performance.
On the 1st of June, 1869, Mr. Winthrop was married, in Bos-
ton, to Elizabeth Mason, eldest daughter of Robert Means Mason
and granddaughter of the Hon. Jeremiah Mason, the greatest law-
ver of New England in his dav, who was also a Senator of the
United States from New Hampshire. In the following July, Mr.
and Mrs. Winthrop went to Europe, where they remained till Sep-
tember, 1871, travelling in Great Britain, France, Italy, and Ger-
many. In the autumn of 1872 they established themselves at 2\o.
37i Beacon Street, Boston, where they passed their winters till 1884,
when they removed to No. 10 Walnut Street. Their summers
were passed in various places till 1896, when they occupied the
house at Manchester-by-the-Sea which they began to build in 189-4.
On returning to Boston, Mr. Winthrop found abundant leisure
to pursue his literary and historical studies, and during the next few
1906.] Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. 229
years he was welcomed to fellowship in some of the leading Clubs
and Societies. He had been a member of the Somerset Club since
his graduation from Harvard, and now he also found enjoyment in
the meetings of the Wednesday Evening Club, organized in Bos-
ton as early as 1777, and of the Essex County Club, to which he
belonged from its formation. He was also a member of the Bos-
tonian Society.
Mr. Winthrop's connection with this Society dates from the 7th
of April, 1886. On its reorganization, in 1889, he was elected a
member of the Council for three years, and rendered efficient ser-
vice. From 1891 till 1902 he served on the Committee on English
Research, and he was also a working member of other important
committees. When the Consolidated Index of the first fifty vol-
umes of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register
was undertaken, he made a generous contribution toward its cost.
It was to the work of the Massachusetts Historical Society, how-
ever, that for nearly a quarter of a century Mr. Winthrop devoted
his best energies. His connection with that venerable organization
is best described in the following words of its President, Mr.
Charles Francis Adams :
Mr. Winthrop was chosen a Resident Member May 8, 1879, and during
the presidency of his father. . . . For over twenty of the twenty-six years
of his connection with the Society, Mr. Winthrop was one of the most
active, interested, and influential of its members. More recently, owing
to a marked tendency to seclusion, — due, as he claimed, to bodily infirmi-
ties and especially to a growing imperfection of hearing, — he had ceased
to attend our meetings, the last at which he was present, and in which he
took characteristic part, having been that of February, 1901.
His first committee service was in 1880, iu connection with the Win-
throp Papers, in the preparation and publication of which he took a natu-
ral and hereditary pride. The finances of the Society were at that time in
a far from flourishing state, aDd it was Mr. Winthrop who quietly came
forward and met the cost, some $1200, of printing the volume (Part IV.)
published after he had been made a member of the committee. Subsequently,
in 1889, 1892, and 1897, he served on the similar committees for the pub-
lication of Parts V. and VI. of the Winthrop Papers and of the volume of
Bowdoin and Temple Papers. Between 1886 and 1898 his service on
other committees was almost continuous and never merely nominal. He
was essentially a working member. . . .
Passing to his communications and share in our proceedings, besides two
lesser memoirs, that on R. M. Mason and that on David Sears, he prepared
the more elaborate biography of the elder Robert C. Winthrop. This
last, let me say in passing, was not only a most creditable piece of literary
work, done with much judgment and good taste, but it stands in lasting
evidence of that abiding and admiring respect for his father which was in
him so marked a characteristic. Besides the above, the list of Mr. Win-
throp's miscellaneous formal contributions .... is too long for detailed
enumeration ; suffice it to say, it includes many of the most valuable as
well as entertaining papers read at our meetings between 1880 and 1900.
During those years no one was listened to with more instruction, certainly
230 Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. [July,
no one at times did so much to enliven a series of meetings not character-
ized, as a rule, by sallies of humor or aggressiveness of speech. Nor was
his participation confined to formal papers ; and the older members of the
Society will bear me out in the statement that, when Mr. Winthrop took
the floor, whatever degree of listlessness might before have been apparent
at once disappeared from our gatherings. All was alertness and attention.
An accomplished host as well as a generous giver, to him we owe that
most valuable double autograph of Governors Bradford and Winthrop
which ornaments our entrance chamber, one of the most precious of the
Society's possessions ; and on two occasions at least, the special meeting
after the death of Charles Deane and the Annual Meeting of April, 1898,
he entertained the Society at his home.
Altogether, I may confidently assert that through a score of years no
member of our organization was more constant in attendance, more fruit-
ful in matter, more entertaining as well as instructive in his contributions,
more generous in gift and more lavish in hospitality than was that friend
and associate of fifty years whose death I to-day announce.*
While Mr. Winthrop's services to the Massachusetts Historical
Society, as author and editor, were various and valuable, his great
work was his Memoir of his father. This substantial volume of
more than three hundred and fifty pages is remarkable for many
things besides those mentioned by Mr. Adams : it is just and dis-
criminating ; notable for what it omits, both of persons and events ;
frank to a degree unusual in family biographies ; and, when we re-
member Mr. Winthrop's filial attitude, and that certain political
events ended the elder Winthrop's public career, for which he had
most unusual qualifications, the reader marvels at the calm self-
restraint, the perfect candor and the absence of passion and resent-
ment which characterizes the portrayal of this period of his father's
public life. Reverence and affection, the truest sympathy in his
father's domestic joys and sorrows, and determination to vindicate
his character from the unjust aspersions and misjudgments of polit-
ical enemies and thoughtless contemporaries are everywhere appar-
ent. One of Mr. Winthrop's early friends writes :
His after life was quiet and domestic. He kept up his historical studies,
but wrote much less than his friends had hoped for. His Life of Robert
C. Winthrop is, however, everywhere recognized as a model of biographi-
cal writing, perfectly impartial, never allowing his filial relation to inter-
fere with a clear statement of all phases of his father's character and ca-
reer.
A Classmate adds this estimate of the volume :
I think Robert Winthrop's Memoir of his father gives an impression of
his own character and abilities. ... I have long considered it equal to the
very best biographies extant, — indeed, I cannot name another that I con-
sider as good, — and it is quite as much a monument to the writer as to the
subject. The Defence of Katharine Winthrop I have not seen. . . . Ex-
cept the exquisite biography of which I have ahead}- spoken, he did noth-
ing to my knowledge which disclosed his remarkable gifts.

1906.] Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. 231
There was, however, another literary production of Mr. Win-
throp, already mentioned, which, although in an entirely different
vein from the Memoir of his father, is nevertheless entitled to prom-
inent mention in any biographical notice of its author. One of our
younger scholars has pronounced it "the brightest historical gem
we have produced." On the cover of this pamphlet is printed —
"A Few Words in Defence of an Elderly Lady," while the more
formal title-page runs, " A Difference of Opinion concerning the
reasons why Katharine Winthrop* refused to marry Chief Justice
Sewall." In an Address on the Life and Character of Chief Jus-
tice Sewall, delivered in the Old South Meeting House, in October,
1884, Dr. George E. Ellis had styled Madam Winthrop a " worldly
minded woman " and had intimated " that she first encouraged an
old man to make her an offer of marriage and then refused him
from mercenary motives." A few months later, when the Address
had been printed and distributed, these passages fell under Mr. Win-
throp's notice, aroused his indignation, and called forth his " De-
fence" of the lady. This paper was read at a meeting of one of
the Societies with which he was in fellowship, in February, 1885.
Declaring that "sufferance is not the badge of all my tribe," and
that " the angelic attribute of Patience has ever been imperfectly
developed in my composition," Mr. Winthrop proceeded to deal
with his subject in a manner peculiarly his own. As a piece of lit-
erature it is brilliant, discovering a sagacious insight into character,
a masterly power of statement and of analysis, dry humor, keen
wit, an equally keen sense of the ludicrous, generous appreciation
of the worth and rights of others, pungent phrases expressive of
his indignation at the injustice done to Madam Winthrop, and
therewithal a rollicking good-humor which disarms at once the crit-
icism of unprejudiced and disinterested readers. The Publishing
Committee of the Society, however, in the exercise of the discre-
tion conferred upon it by the By-Laws, did "not think fit" to in-
clude it in the printed Proceedings of the Society. As might have
been foreseen, Mr. Winthrop promptly had his "Defence" printed
and distributed to his friends and public institutions. The pamphlet
is divided into two Chapters. Chapter I., " Wherein the Champion
of an Elderly Lady recites her Wrongs," is introduced by the ex-
clamation of Angus —
" And darest thou then
To beard the lion in his den,
Tlie Douglas in his hall ? "

the richest merchant of his day in New England, and widow of John Eyre of Bos-
ton at the time of her marriage to Chief-Justice Wait Still Winthrop, 13 November,
1707. She died 2 August, 1725 (Boston Record Commissioners' Reports, ix. 91,

232 Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. [July,
Penitential Tale," begins with a passage from the lamentations of
King David —
" All they that see me ... . they shoot out the lip, they shake the head."
The second chapter is, in a way, autobiographical and sheds light
upon Mr. "Winthrop's college career and his relations to the Faculty,
of which mention has been already made. It also reveals his un-
willingness to conceal any shortcomings of his own, knowledge of
which may be necessary to a proper understanding of his personal
relation to events he is describing, — a delicious frankness, indeed,
which it behooves his biographer not to forget. A portion of this
chapter, which comprises Mr. "Winthrop's Remarks at the April
meeting of the same Society, follows : ♦
The explanation I am about to make is, as I said before, a short ODe ;
but in order to make it, I am obliged to go back to a period when some
of the younger members of this Society were in their cradles, to a time —
two and thirty years ago — when, as a member of the Junior Class of Har-
vard College, and in compliance with an official summons, I waited upon
the President of the University, the lamented Dr. James "Walker, to hear
from his venerable lips the announcement that the College Faculty, by a
unanimous vote, had awarded to me what was then known as a " Public
Admonition " for an offence which, after this lapse of time, I blush to de-
scribe, and which consisted in the consumption and distribution of peanuts
in the College Chapel during a Dudleian Lecture. I could not in con-
science deny the charge ; and I was aware that any attempt to do so would
be futile, as I had not long before been credibly assured that no less com-
petent an authority than a well-known Professor of Political Economy had
personally identified a heap of shells under my seat. I ventured, however,
to insinuate some slight palliation of the enormity of which I had been
guilty, by pointing out that no inconsiderable portion of that Dudleian
Lecture had been devoted to undermining certain religious tenets which I
had from childhood been taught to reverence. Dr. Walker rejoined, in
accents of unmistakable severity, although, as it seemed to me, there played
across his expressive features the shadow — the momentary shadow — of a
smile : " Mr. "Winthrop, your conduct in this, as in some other matters, has
been marked by an incorrigible want of decorum."
"Well-nigh a third of a century has passed away since I was privileged
to enjoy, on that and at least one other somewhat similar occasion, a few
minutes of close personal intercourse with so remarkable a man; and,
viewed in the light of subsequent experiences, those memorable words of
his which I have just quoted seem now to me to have been instinct with a
sort of prophetic pathos. Again and agaiu have I been made the subject
of such misconceptions. Endowed by nature with the keenest apprecia-
tion of whatever is grave and solemn and respectable in this world ; ani-
mated as I have long been, by an eager desire to concentrate these qualities
in an eminent degree in my own person, — I yet seem, somehow or other,
only to have succeeded in encountering, from time to time, a perverse dis-
position to attribute to me an ill-judged levity wholly foreign to my tem-
perament. It has even been broadly hinted to me that in a communication
which I felt it my duty to make to this Society at its February meeting, I
was considered in some influential quarters to have transcended the very
1906.] Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. 233
climax of previous indiscretion. And so I stand up here this afternoon,
figuratively attired in sackcloth, bowing a gray head in what is intended to
be a penitential attitude, indicative of contrition ; and as I look around
me, while I seem to discern here and there on some expressive features the
shadow — the momentary shadow — of a smile, yet in my heart of hearts I
realize that if some venerable lips saw fit to speak, they would only, I fear,
re-echo the language of James Walker two and thirty years ago, and im-
pute to me " an incorrigible absence of decorum."
To those gentlemen who may not have been present at the February
meeting, I will briefly explain, that I hurried here that afternoon, burstiug,
I may say, with what I thought a righteous indignation, — fired, as it were,
by a pious zeal to vindicate the memory of an aged lady, who would, had
she been able, have risen here herself before us, from her grave just below
that window, the great-great-grandmother of the retiring President of this
Society, whose character had been, as I conceived, somewhat cruelly bespat-
tered in a recent pamphlet from the authoritive pen of our revered Senior
Vice-President, soon, as I magnanimously hope, to be hailed by us by an
even more august title.
After the meeting was over, it occurred to me to put to one of our lead-
ing members, with whom I was in casual conversation, this crucial question :
" How much," I inquired, " of what I said this afternoon would you advise
me to send in for publication ? " His countenance fell, — he looked at me
somewhat askance, — and, taking refuge in periphrastic ambiguity, he re-
plied : " They are likely to be very short of space in the forthcoming
volume. Several memoirs have unexpectedly come in, and the Doctor is
said to have prepared one more than forty pages long." Well, I confess,
such is the egregious vanity often resulting from literary composition, that
for an instant I felt like exclaiming, " How hard — how hard — that this
little ewe lamb of mine — this widow's mite of a communication, so to speak
— must be sacrificed because some one has unexpectedly prepared a memoir
more than forty pages long ! " But in a twinkling my better nature as-
serted its supremacy, and I said to myself, " Age before merit, — I will go
home and shear that little ewe lamb ! " And I went home, and I clipped
away a little here and I expurgated a little there, making a not inconsider-
able reduction ; and the next day, with a light heart and an easy con-
science, I dispatched what was left to our admirable Recording Secretary,
Professor Young. Bitter, bitter deception ! About a week after, I got a
letter from him, couched in most courteous language, — he could pen no
other, — delicately but frankly intimating to me that my little ewe lamb
was a source of no small embarrassment to the Publishing Committee.
One eminent member of the Society (whom he did not name) was substan-
tially of the opinion that so misbegotten a beast had no proper place in
our sheepfold. Another eminent member (whom he equally did not name)
considered that, if admitted at all, the process of shearing should be continued
even to the bone. A third contented himself with the general suggestion
that my method of treating such subjects was hardly in accordance with the
dignified traditions of this body. I took all these criticisms in good part.
I realized that the gentlemen who made them could have no possible bias,
that they were actuated only by a sense of duty or by a desire to promote
what they believed to be the best interests of this Society. I deferred to
their better judgment. I drew the sacrificial knife. I said, '• I have been
willing in moderation to shear, but I cannot vivisect this animal ; I prefer
to cut its throat." In other words, I withdrew the communication ; sub-
234 Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. [July*
stituting for it that half-page of innocuous manuscript which you will find
printed in the volume of Proceedings this day laid upon the tahle.*
And here, so far as this Society is concerned, I drop the subject; merely
adding that, while I freely consented to make this little sacrifice, while I
was even ready to humble myself as I have done here to-day, yet I could
not find it in my heart to abandon one who. as I firmly believe, has rested
her defence upon my shoulders. I reflected that the pamphlet, the accu-
racy of passages in which I called in question, has not merely been dis-
tributed among the personal friends of its distinguished author, but that it
has unquestionably found a place — a place of permanent record — on the
shelves of numerous public libraries in Xew England and elsewhere ; and
I thought it only fair, only right, that the future student of provincial do-
mestic history should be enabled to discover in some obscure and dusty
corner of the same shelves another little pamphlet, issued solely upon my own
responsibility, disengaging wholly the dignity of this Society, and which
will embody the substance of my remarks upon this subject, accompanied,
not impossibly, by some slight annotation. I shall be happy to send a
copy of this little pamphlet to any member of the Society who may feel
the smallest interest in the matter, and in the mean time I should be really
grateful if any one of them — Mr. Charles Francis Adams, Jr.,f of course,
necessarily excepted — would supply me with an appropriate classical quo-
tation for my titlepage. Those I have hitherto thought of do not quite
satisfy me, and I have been obliged thus far to content myself with the
following sentence, or rather half-sentence, which I take from an inspired
source : " And David put his hand in his bag, and drew thence a stone,
and slang it ! "
Note. — An obliging person has pointed out to me, what I supposed I had
made sufficiently evident, that I have not the blood of the lady of whom I have
constituted myself the champion. He seems to think that because I am descended
from her step-son, I must necessarily be indifferent to her good name. I can
only reply that such has not been my own experience of the state of mind re-
sulting from such family connections.
I regret to add (and I only mention it because I am afraid Dr. E. may, if I do
not) that this step-son, after his father's death, became an imprudent person in
money matters. Katharine Winthrop was put to great annoyance by his delay
in refunding a considerable sum she had allowed him the use of; and though
she eventually got back her principal, I doubt if she ever saw a penny of her
interest. I venture to hope that she may regard my activity in her behalf in
the light of a tardy reimbursement; and if I am fortunate enough to obtain
from her any distinct manifestation on this subject, I shall communicate it to
the Society for Psychical Research. R. C. TV., Jr.
Mr. Winthrop led, from preference, a retired life, and although
a loyal American he took no active part in politics and held no
public office. He was, however, constantly employed in important
historical and biographical work, of which his Memoir of his father
and his Defence of Katharine Winthrop are the best fruit. He
especially liked biography, and was an incessant reader. While
he shunned publicity and ostentation, he was most kind and
obliging, especially to strangers and historical students and scholars

t This reference to Mr. Adams was doubtless prompted by his Oration, entitled
"A College Fetich," — a term by which he characterized the traditional study of Greek, —
delivered in June, 1883, before the Harvard Chapter of <J>.B.K.
1906.] Robert Charles Winthrop, Jr. 235
who wrote or called upon him for information concerning persons
or events that possibly are mentioned in his unrivalled collection of
family papers. He was also thoughtfully kind-hearted, as is seen
in the gift, after his father's death, of all his father's spectacles to
one of the leading oculists of Boston, to be given to his > poor pa-
tients. Like his father, Mr, Winthrop was himself very near-
sighted, and in consequence often passed his most intimate friends
on the street without bow or recognition of any kind, — a fact that
caused him to be regarded as snobbish by persons who knew him
but slightly, — an amusing misapprehension, since he was one of
the most democratic of men, appreciating individuality of character in
whatever walk of life he found it. One of Mr. Winthrop's friends
writes :
He always had a very strong family feeling, and every Sunday night
during my mother's life nothing would prevent his paying her a regular
Sunday evening visit.
He certainly had remarkable talents He was a man who
loved accuracy and hated nebulosity. What some people, I think, regarded
as hardness on his part was a desire to prevent the possibility of future
mistakes.
He also hated injustice and loved fair play.
In his beautiful home in Walnut Street, adorned by a great and
matchless collection of portraits of his ancestors and kinsfolk of
many generations, and of his own and his father's friends among
famous men, Mr. Winthrop died, in consequence of a surgical ope-
ration, in the evening of Monday, the 5th of June, 1905, in his
seventy-first year. The funeral was held on the following Friday,
in St. John's Memorial Chapel in Cambridge, built nearly thirty
years before by Mrs. Winthrop's father. During the service on
that beautiful summer afternoon, as the setting sun streamed through
the painted windows as if in benediction upon the scene, the opening
lines of one of Longfellow's sonnets involuntarily came to mind :
" I stand beneath the tree whose branches shade
Thy western window, Chapel of St. John !
And hear its leaves repeat their benison
On him whose hands thy stones memorial laid."
Mr. Winthrop was survived by his widow, a son, Robert Mason
Winthrop, a graduate of Harvard in the Class of 1895 and now
Secretary of Legation at Madrid, and two daughters, Clara Bow-
doin Winthrop and Margaret Tyndal Winthrop, the name of the
younger being a pleasant reminder, after the lapse of nearly three
centuries, of the saintly woman who for nearly thirty years shared
the joys and sorrows of Governor John Winthrop the elder. In
his will he describes himself as "Robert Charles Winthrop, the
younger of that name," having always retained the "Junior" after
the death of his father. His public bequests of more than thirty
thousand dollars were to the Massachusetts Historical Society,
236 Journal of Constantine Hardy. [July,
the New England Historic Genealogical Society, The Colonial So-
ciety of Massachusetts, the Bostonian Society, the Boston Episcopal
Charitable Society, Bowdoin College, and Phillips Academy, An-
dover, the income of the last two bequests "to be used for the
encouragement of the study of Greek and Latin authors." Mr.
Winthrop's modesty is recognized in his two bequests to the His-
torical Society, both of which are to be added to existing Funds
already named for those who gave them.
EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNAL OF CONSTANTINE
HARDY, IN THE CROWN POINT EXPEDITION
OF 1759.
Communicated by Charles A. Flagg, Esq., of Washington., D. C.
The writer of this diary was born in Westborough, Mass., 6 Mar.,
1736-7. Enlisting in Apr., 1759, his company evidently formed a
part of the 2d battalion of Col. Ruggles's Worcester County regi-
ment.
Hardy passed the remainder of his days in Westborough, and
died there 16 Mar., 1777. By his marriage with Jemima Brigham of
Shrewsbury (intention recorded 15 Jan., 1763), he had two sons
and five daughters. The elder son, Constantine, removed to Upton,
and later to Shelburne, Mass. The latter's great-granddaughter,
Miss Elizabeth Hardy, of Shelburne, is the present owner of the diary.
This consisted originally of a book of twenty-two leaves, but only
twelve and part of another of the leaves are now remaining.

GEORGE BETHUNE OF CRAIGFURDIE, SCOTLAND,
AND BOSTON, MASS.
By Charles P. Xotes, Esq., of St. Paul, Minn.
George Bethune, son of William and grandson of Robert and Marion
(Inglis) Bethune of Craigfurdie, Scotland, arrived in Boston about 1710.
The approximate year of his arrival is obtained from Sewall's Diary, where,
under date of Mar. 11, 1710-1, we find this note: "Thomas Lee, and
George Bethune fin'd for Constables."
It has been stated that George Bethune came to Boston about 1724, es-
tablished himself as a banker there, and married a Miss Carey ; but after
a most thorough search in Boston for the ancestry of Miss Carey, I became
satisfied that this was an error, and my later discovery of the following
records proves it to be so.
In the Boston Book of Marriage Intentions we find George Bethune was
published June 10, 1713, to Mary Waters of Marblehead, while in the
Marblehead town record of Marriages appears this record : " George Bethune
of Boston and Mrs. Mary Waters Je 3 1713." Another record gives the
date as June 30. Mary Waters, born Feb. 25, 1691-2, baptized at Mar-
blehead Apr. 24, 1692, was the eldest daughter of William and Elizabeth
(Latimer) Waters of Marblehead, Mass.
Further confirmation of the marriage was found in the following:
George Bethune of Boston deeded property, Sept. 10, 1722, to Nathaniel
Norden, Mary Waters's uncle, to settle the estate which Nathaniel Norden
held in his own right, and which, on his decease, was to go to Latimer
1906.] George Bethune. 239
Waters (Mary's brother) and his heirs ; and in default of such heirs it was
to go to the next of kin of Latimer's deceased mother, Elizabeth (Latimer)
Waters. (Essex Co. Deeds, Vol. 41, p. 209.) Sept. 14, 1722, Nathaniel
Norden of Marblehead, " for love of his kinswoman Mary wife of George
Bethune," deeded to her a certain house " now in possession of Benjamin
Stacy called The Three Codds Tavern." (Essex Co. Deeds, Vol. 41, p.
210.) In a deed of settlement in 1722, Nathaniel Norden gave to Latimer
Waters, Mary Petherick, spinster, of Marblehead, George Bethune of
Boston and Mary his wife, two dwellings which were part of the estate of
Christopher Latimer, set off to Nathaniel Norden in lieu of debt. (Essex
Co. Deeds, Vol. 44, p. 88.) In the final distribution of Christopher
Latimer's estate, Jan. 6, 1726, the division was between Latimer Waters
of Marblehead and George and Mary Bethune of Boston — '• One half to
Latimer Waters and the other half to Mary Bethune, children of William
and Elizabeth Waters, said Elizabeth being a daughter of Christopher
Latimer." (Essex Deeds, Vol. 53, p. 180.) There appears to have been
no other George Bethune of Boston at that time, so the above seems to
establish beyond question the fact that his wife was Mary Waters.
George- Bethune was undoubtedly engaged to some extent in shipping
trade, as, Dec. 18, 1727, he bought of Daniel Law "the sloop Mayflower
all ready for a voyage to Honduras." He was one of the members of the
Scots Charitable Society of Boston, and in 1732 was Justice of the Peace.
The date of his death is not known, but it was probably in 1735, as an
inventory of his estate was taken Feb. 20, 1735-6, in Boston.
The children of George and Mary (Waters) Bethune were:
i. Jane, b. June 15, 1714; m. (1) Feb. 1, 1737-8, Dr. (or Capt.) Moses,
sou of Samuel and Mercy (Hinckley) Priuce, who d. July 6, 1745,
at Antigua, W. I. ; aud m. (2) Sept., 1761, as his third wife, Hon.
Peter, son of Col. John and Elizabeth (Coffin) Gilman. She died
at Newbury port, Mass., Mar. 9, 1795.
ii. Nathaniel, b. July 25, 1715; m. probably Hannah (or Abigail),
daughter of Job and Sarah (Palmer) Lewis. He was Justice of
the Peace in 1760; and d. in Boston. His will was dated Feb. 1,
and probated Mar. 15, 1771.
iii. Mary, b. Apr. 27, 1717; d. young.
iv. Eliza (or Elizabeth), b. June 1, 171S; m. in 1758 (intention pub-
lished Oct. 26), Ezekiel Lewis. She probably d. before 1771, as
her brother Nathaniel in his will mentions only her husband,
" Brother Ezekiel Lewis."
v. George, b. in 1719; d. the same year.
vi. George, b. Dec. 7, 1720; m. in 1754 (Intention published July 15,
1751), Mary, daughter of Benjamin Faneuil, and niece of Peter
Faneuil, of Boston. He was Justice of the Peace in 1774; and d.
in Cambridge, in 1785.
vii. Susanna, b. Dec. 11, 1722; m. Benjamin Pemberton.
viii. Henry, b. Aug. 18, 1724.
ix. Sarah, b. June 27, 1728; m. in 17C0 (intention published June 30),
Rev. Sylvanus Conaut of Middleborough, Mass.
x. Mary, b. Oct. 7, 1730.
Mary Waters, wife of George Bethune, was daughter of William Waters
(d. 1704) ; and granddaughter of William Waters (d. 1684), of Marblehead,
and his wife Hannah (Peach) Bradstreet, the daughter of John Peach (d.
1694) of Marblehead.
Her mother, Elizabeth Latimer (d. 1699), was daughter of Christopher
Latimer (d. 1690), of Marblehead, and his wife Mary (d. 1681), daughter
of William Pitts (d. after 1679), of Marblehead and Boston, Mass.

for the ministry. After preaching at Walpole, Mass., and other
places, he received a call to Easton, Mass.. where he was settled
and ordained, Oct. 6, 1731. He was a man of peculiar tempera-
ment, and was subject to periodical attacks of partial insanity, which
resulted in serious difficulties iu his church, and in his dismission on
Apr. 1G, 1744. Financial embarrassments finally induced him,
shortly after the death of his wife, to desert his children and flee
from his creditors. He was for a while at Wiscasset. Me., but on
Dec. 3, 1757, acknowledged a deed at Taunton, Mass. (Suffolk
Co. Deeds, vol. 94, page G7.) His further history is unknown
to the writer, but the catalogue of Harvard College states that he
died in 1773.

chers descended from Gregory. Up to 1735 he is called "Jr." ou
the records, to distinguish him from his elder cousin Moses8 (born
in 1674, son of Moses2), and after that year (when Moses,4 son of
Moses,8 became of age and a town voter) he is designated either as
" Mr." or " Deacon," or by his military title. As early as 1726 he
began to hold minor town offices, and for over 30 years he was
continuously prominent in the affairs of the town ; selectman from
1737 to 1742, and in 1746 ; sergeant 1737-1742 ; lieutenant 1742-
1748; captain 1748-1751 ; and major from 1751 to 1759. During
the French and Indian war, from 1756 to 1759, he rendered service
as a muster and training officer, but on account of his age probably
did not take the field. On May 29, 1747, he was elected deacon of
the first church, holding the office for thirty years, until his death.
The exact time of his decease is not recorded, but he was living as
late as 1775. The probate files show no record of his estate.
He married first, in Boston, May 20, 1715, Mary Williams; and

JEREMIAH BELCHER OF IPSWICH.
1. Jeremy, or Jeremiah,1 Belcher came to New England in the
ship "Susan and Ellen," in the spring of 1635. On the ship's list his
age is stated. to be 22 years, so he was born about 1613. (Hotten's
° Original Lists," page 59.) He is said to have been born in Wiltshire, Eng-
land, but the writer has found no evidence of this. He settled at Ipswich,
Mass., where he became a proprietor, was admitted freeman Mar. 13,
1638-9, and acquired extensive lands by grant and by purchase. In the
records he is usually styled " merchant," but sometimes he appears as
"sergeant." On May 28, 1659, he was granted 300 acres, by the General
Court, to be located outside the settled plantations, but he did not take up
this grant, which was revived in favor of his son Jeremiah2 over sixty
years later, Nov. 17, 1722. (Province Laws, vol. x, page 220.) On May
15, 1661, he deeded lands in Haverhill to his sons Jeremiah2 and John.2
(Pope's " Pioneers of Massachusetts.") He deposed on Mar. 21, 1671-2,-
then aged 59 years. (Essex Co. Court Files.) On July 1, 1721, John
Gould of Charlestown, Walter Russell of Cambridge, Daniel Gould of
Charlestown, and Moses Burnham and Thomas Andrews of Ipswich, heirs
to Jeremiah Belcher of Ipswich, deceased, released to Samuel Adams all
claims to a farm in Ipswich formerly owned by said Jeremiah Belcher,
and they also defended the grantee from the heirs of Richard Belcher and
from the heirs of David Belcher, sons of said Jeremiah, and from the heirs
of John Andrews who married one of the daughters of said Jeremiah
Belcher. (Essex Co. Deeds, vol. 40, page 9.)
Jeremiah1 Belcher died in Ipswich, in Mar., 1692-3, aged about 80 years,
the eldest son, Rev. Samuel,2 being appointed administrator of the estate,
Mar. 31 of that year.
The name of his first wife, whom he married about 1637, does not
appear, but it should be noted, however, that a Mary Clifford, aged 25
years, emigrated to New England in the same ship with him in 1635, her
name standing next to his on the passenger list, and that Edward3 Belcher,
grandson of Jeremiah,1 had a son Clifford.*
Jeremiah1 married second, in 1652, Mary Lockwood, with whom he
made a marriage contract Sept. 30, 1652, conveying lands to trustees for
her benefit for life. She survived him, and died in Oct., 1700.

oldest surviving son, signed the deed of 1721, previously mentioned.
On Nov. 27, 1686, Jeremiah1 Belcher of Ipswich conveyed to his
two sons, Jeremiah Belcher of Rumney Marsh, and Joseph Rus-
sell of Cambridge, part of a tract of land he bought of an Indian
in 1651. (Original deed in possession of Warren7 Belcher, Esq.,
of Winthrop, Mass.)

2. Rev. Samuel2 Belcher (Jeremiah1), born in 1639, graduated from
Harvard College in 1659, and studied for the ministry, and was
\ preaching at Kittery, Me., as early as 1663. (Sibley's " Harvard
Graduates," vol. II, page 42.) About 1665 he went to the Isles of
Shoals, where he was preaching as late as 1686 (York Deeds, vol.
IV, page 64), but finally ill health obliged him to leave that place
about 1692. Before 1695 he was preaching in the West church at
Newbury, where he was ordained and settled Nov. 10, 1698. About
1711, the infirmities of age compelled him to retire from the minis-
try, and he removed to his native town, Ipswich, where he died
Mar. 10, 1714—15. A contemporary minister, Rev. John Barnard,
refers to him as " a good scholar, a judicious divine, a holy and
humble man."
He married first, about 1668, Mary,2 daughter of Rev. Thomas1
Cobbett of Lynn and Ipswich, who died about 1679 ; and married
second, Mercy,3 born Feb., 1655-6, daughter of Rev. Michael2 and
Mary (Reyner) Wigglesworth of Maiden, and widow of Rev.
Samuel Brackenbury of Rowley, She survived her second hus-
band, and died Nov. 14, 1728.

3. Jeremiah2 Belcher (Jeremiah1), born in June, 1641, located about
1665 at Rumney Marsh (which embraced what is now Revere,
1906.] The Belcher Families. 251
Chelsea, and East Boston, and was a part of Boston until 1739,
when the town of Chelsea was incorporated). He first leased a
farm of Gov. Bellingham (the original indenture, in the beautiful
handwriting of the governor, being now in the possession of Warren7
Belcher, Esq., of Winthrop, Mass.), and later purchased lands in
what is now Lynn, Revere, and on Breed's Island (then called Hog
Island). He appears to have been a prosperous farmer, as in 1702
he paid the highest tax in Rumney Marsh, on a farm worth £25
rent per year, two oxen, eight cows, two horses, one hog, and one
hundred sheep. (Boston Record Commissioners' Report, vol. 10,
page 143.) Late in life, he deeded lands to his sons Edward,
Joseph, and Ebenezer, which they divided among themselves.
(Suffolk Co. Deeds, vol. 28, page 136.)
He made a will, the original of which is in the possession of his
descendant Warren7 Belcher, Esq., of Winthrop, Mass., but the
instrument was not offered for probate, and therefore never recorded
in any registry, so it is herewith given in full, for preservation :
"The last Will and Testement of Jeremiah Belcher, Living in Bos-
ton, being at this present time through God's goodness in health, Re-

Jeremiah'-1 Belcher died Feb. 6, 1722-3, aged 81 years, 6 months,
according to his gravestone, which is still standing in the old Revere
cemetery.
He married, about 1667, Sarah,2 daughter of Edward1 and Eliza-
beth Weeden of Boston, who died Jan.20, 1715-16. On Mar. 20,
1716-17, he entered his intention of marriage with Rebecca Nash
of Boston, but it is doubtful if the marriage was consummated. She
was the widow of John Nash, cooper, of Boston, who had died in
1712.

40, page 9), the grantors, who were some of the grandchildren of
Jeremiah1 Belcher, defended the grantee from the heirs of David2
Belcher ; so it may be inferred that the latter had descendants, al-
though no further record or mention of him of any kind can be
found. Possibly he perished in the Canadian expedition of 1690.

he sold his homestead to Thomas Cheever and moved to Milton,
where he lived for a short time, but finally bought a large farm in
that part of Stoughton which was later Stoughtouham (Sharon),
where he died Mar. Vo, 1744-5, aged 76 years 1 month 2 days,

was born in Rumney Marsh, where he passed his life, inheriting
part of his father's lands. He also owned two estates on North
street in Boston. He resided in that part of Rumney Marsh called
Hog Island (now Breed's Island), and with his wife Hannah be-
came a member of the Rev. Thomas Cheever's church, in 1716.
He was prominent in the affairs of the precinct, holding the offices
of constable and of ensign in the military company for many years.

THE CONFERENCE AT DEERFIELD, MASS., AUGUST
27-31, 1735, BETWEEN GOV. BELCHER AND
SEVERAL TRIBES OF WESTERN
INDIANS.
By Hon. Geokge Sheldon-, of Deerfield.
While engaged in gathering material for the history of Deer-
field, some thirty-five years ago, I heard from Aliss Harriet Hitch-
cock a tradition, told her by Charles Hitchcock, her father, that a
treaty had been made with the Indians at Deerfield a long time ago,
aud that the meeting was held on the home-lot then owned by
Jonathan Hoyt,* who was our common ancestor. This tradition
was unsupported by any record which had come to my knowledge,
and observation had taught me that local traditions with no records
to back them were, as a rule, to be taken with a great many grains
of salt. However, with this tradition had come down a single Indian
word. This word had apparently been so often repeated, I rea-
soned, that it stuck, and may have become a by-word in the town.
Therefore, there must be some foundation for the story of the
Meeting. This word was " squawottock," meaning ''more rum."
With this fantastic foundation for my faith, I set about an ex-
haustive search for traces of this convocation in the formidable mass
of manuscript at the State House, and was at length rewarded by
finding some bills of expenses attending a Conference with the
Housatonics and other tribes at Deerfield, in August, 1735. But
at this point I -was confronted with a statement by our eminent
historian, Gen. Epaphras Hoyt,f in his ''Antiquarian Researches,"
that the Conference of 1735 was held at Fort Dummer. Further

search revealed the record of a similar Conference at Fort Duminer
two years later, October, 1737. In the very first speech at this
Conference, made by Ontosogo, the Indian orator of the Cagh-
nawagas said to Gov. Belcher, "Brother of the Broadway, Two
Years Past I was at Deerfield, the matter then delivered to us by
you was, that the old Covenant of Peace and Unity between our
brother of the Broadway and us might be continued." In replying
to Ontosogo, the Commissioners allude to " the Covenent of friend-
ship renewed two years ago at Deerfield between this Government
and the Cagnawaga Tribe." This settled the question that the
meeting in 1735 was at Deerfield. Gen. Hoyt had evidently seen
the report of this meeting at Fort Dummer, and in quoting from
it had substituted "Fort Dummer" for "Deerfield." Having no
clue to a conference in his native town, and according to Miss
Hitchcock held on his grandfather's own home-lot, Hoyt interpreted
"Deerfield" as covering the whole frontier, as "Boston" often stood
in Canada for the whole colony. This slip of Gen. Hoyt should
not discredit his general accuracy.
The question of location being settled, I renewed my search with
ardor, but unfortunately I confined my efforts to the records of
Indian Conferences and the manuscript Archives, and brought but
little more to light. From these slight traces, and knowledge of
the procedure in like Conferences, was made up the account of the
Treaty printed in the History of Deerfield. It is primarily to give
a fuller and more correct account of the Conference at Deerfield,
August, 1735, that this paper is prepared. At this point I quote
from the History of Deerfield.
"As I have said, no record of this conference at Deerfield has
been found, but we are indebted to Miss C. Alice Baker for two
important papers relating to it, which she has lately discovered in
the manuscript Archives at Quebec. One is a ' Letter from M.
de Beauharnois to the Minister [in France], 1735 12th October.'"
In this letter, written six weeks after the Conference, is enclosed
the full text of a speech which Beauharnois says he had prepared
and sent to Deerfield to be delivered by Ontosogo, the Caghnawaga
Chief, as his own. Beauharnois writes, "My Lord, You will see
by the words subjoined that I have had a journey to Deerfield made
by trustworthy people, and the speech I have had made to them
which astonished them not a little."
This speech is skilfully drawn to hide all trace of French origin,
and made to appear as if it were a spontaneous outbreak of the
Caghnawaga chieftain, enraged by the reports of an English settle-
ment on lands which he claimed as his own. These two papers
were printed in full in the History of Deerfield as authentic addition
to my sketch of the Conference. The reason for calling attention
to this incident will appear in the next stage of this narration.
"
258 Conference at Deerfield, 1735. [July,
Years later, Judge Francis M. Thompson, while hunting material
for his History of Greenfield, in the Public Library at Boston, hap-
pened upon an official printed pamphlet containing the entire record
of the Conference at Deerfield, August, 1735.* Here was a " find "
indeed, and Judge Thompson was desirous of making a perfect
copy for his history, but proper facilities were denied, and he was
hampered in his efforts. Later, however, I was conceded the privi-
lege needed for making a verbatim copy of this document, f Now,
the record thus brought to light reveals a queer sequel. The pro-
ceedings of each day of the Conference, and the speeches of each
day, are given minutely, and from first to last there is not a word,
or a hint, of the speech or subject matter of the speech, which
M. de Beauharnois says he prepared for Ontosogo, and which,
when delivered by Ontosogo at Deerfield, "astonished them not a
little." It may be here added that at the Conference at Fort Dum-
mer, two years later, there was neither word nor hint of this incen-
diary speech by Ontosogo. Instead of waving the bloody axe and
breathing threatenings and slaughter at Deerfield, as represented
by Beauharnois, the Caghnawaga chief appears to be the most serene
and happy man alive. In his farewell speech, August 29,' he says,
" I salute the Governor and all the Gentlemen here. I have been
so handsomely treated since I have been with you that I have almost
fancied myself in Heaven." Could Gov. Belcher and Ontosogo
read the Canada version of this Conference, they would no doubt
be "astonished not a little." How are these contradictions to be
I explained? How is the official Report of Gov. Belcher and the
official letter of Gov. M. de Beauharnois to the Court of France
to be reconciled?
One is reminded of a conumdrum founded upon what a boy
declared to be an impossible relationship to certain people. The
solution of the puzzle given was, "The little brat lied." Does not
the solution in this case, at least, squint in the same direction ? But
who was the author of this old conundrum? Each must be his own
judge. Could Gov. Belcher have suppressed such a speech after
he had promised to send each tribe a printed copy of the proceed-
ings? Indians never forget. Did Ontosogo keep the speech in his
breast and report its delivery to Beauharnois with its astonishing
effect on the English ? Hardly, when 142 Indians present could bear
testimony against him. Were the grievance, and the threatening
speech, made up and sent to France, to show the King what a faith-
ful and watchful governor he had as his representative in Canada?
Did Beauharnois assume that his report would be forever buried in
the Archives of France? He could not then have reckoned with
Miss Baker a century and a half later.

ment.
1906.] Conference at Deerfield, 1735. 259
One more document should be preserved, and explained in this
connection. Oct. 28, 1903, Rev. Anson Titus published in the
Boston Transcript a manuscript found in the Archives of the Xew
England Historic Genealogical Society, which he called "A Diary
of Surpassing Interest, for the first time published." This Diary
was written by a gentleman who attended the Deerfield Conference
in the train of Gov. Belcher ; but it was devoted mainly to the
incidents of travel by the way. So far as it goes, in reciting the
action of the Conference, it bears out the text of Gov. Belcher's
report with a single exception. The diarist says that one of the
tribes present was "the tribe of Mohegans." Knowing the history
of the Mohegans, it was a justifiable presumption which led ine to
question the statement of one of the actors in the Conference, as
to the presence of this tribe. Thinking there might have been an
error in the copyist or typesetter, I examined the original, and ascer-
tained there was no error in the printed copy; " Mohegan " it was.
But the doubt still remained, and a comparison of the diary with the
Official Report revealed the fact that the diarist unwittingly or ig-
norantly used the name " Mbhegan " to designate the Mohawks,
who were actually present, associated with the Scattakooks and not
otherwise named by him as a distinctive body. Where he writes
" Mohawks " it applies to the French Mohawks, or Caghnawaga tribe.
It was the discovery of this error, and the untoward incident of
the Beauharnois letter, which moved me to publish this paper, that
the close student of Indian affairs of the period might not be misled
by the writer of the diary, or by the historian of Deerfield, in their
reports of the Conference in 1735.
There is another word that might be said touching this representa-
tive gathering, but by no means confined to it. It shows in gener-
al the parliamentaiy method of procedure in the public business
meetings of the savage and the intruding white man. We see here
DO O
the native savage imposing upon the representative of the highest
civilization his own modes and forms of conducting public affairs.
This emphasizes the fact that the impact of civilization upon savage-
ry in this direction had been successfully resisted. These forms
and ceremonies of the Indians handed down from a far-off age, from
generation to generation, were so deeply rooted as to defy all induce-
ments for conformity to the English methods. I have said else-
where, from information obtained chiefly in conversation with Miss
Alice Fletcher, an eminent authority on Indian affairs : —
" The red man is generally spoken of as the child of freedom ;
but no galley slave was more firmly bound to his oar, than was the
North American Indian to the customs and traditions of his tribe.
He had no will of his own. His costume, his habits, his conduct
in war or peace, were all marked out for him by inexorable law.
Contact with civilization made not a whit of change in
2G0 Conference at Deerfield, 1735. [July>
hia mode of conducting public business, whether in the State House
at Boston, or by the Council fire in the wilderness. At the Court
of the ' Grande Monarche ' Louis XIV., etiquette was not more
strictly enforced than with the tribes, in their conferences and trea-
ties with the whites. The latter were obliged to conform as best
they could to the ceremonial forms of the savage. Governors and
Embassadors gravely smoked the Pipe of Peace ; lifted
or buried the hatchet, brightened the Covenant chain, sent or re-
ceived the wampum belts, and gave the inevitable present; for no
promise was sacred and no treaty binding which was not ratified by
an exchange of gifts." * "With this strong attachment to their inter-
national civil forms, it would seem an utterly hopeless task to at-
tempt a change in their religious rites relating to the unseen and
controlling powers all about them. But the fact remains, account
for it as you may, that the devoted English missionaries were par-
tially successful in their attempts to " convert " the natives to Chris-
tianity ; albeit it generally proved in the end a ruinous operation to
the natives, as they took more readily to the vices than the virtues
of their Christian neighbors. At this same Conference of which
we write, a minister was ordained to go among the people of one of
the tribes, to labor for their conversion. The history of the Housa-
tonic Indians shows that this effort met with a considerable meas-
ure of success. They as a tribe accepted the new Deity, the new
forms of worship, and many of the ways of civilization ; thus they
were held constant friends of the English in subsequent French and
English wars.
The Diary quoted below had never before, so far as known, been
published. In his introduction Mr. Titus said : —
" The following diary was kept by a member of the council of
Governor Jonathan Belcher, on the tour to consult with the Indians
in the western part of the Bay Province. It is not known by whom
it was written. "
This itinerary is condensed, but the entries bearing on the Confer-
ence are given in full.
DIARY.
" On Wednesday morning August 20th. 1735. about six o'clock
His Excellency, attended by a number of Gentlemen, set out from
Boston on a Journey to Deerfield, about 120 miles/'
That day they reached Col. Chandler's at Worcester; August

Gentlemen, & where in the afternoon the Tribe of the Cagnaroao-as
(or French Mohawks)* was sent for, & after the usual Salutations
& Conference they were dismist.
28th. Thursday at Deerfield. The same was done to the Hoase-
tonnocks, & Jto the Scattacooks & Mohegans [Mohawks] together,
in the forenoon. In the afternoon the Mohawks [French Mohawks]
were sent for again, & had a conference. It lasted about an hour
& an half.
29th. Friday at Deerfield. The Housetonnocks were sent for,
& had a conference : it lasted about an hour & an half (in the fore-
noon) Then the Mohawks [French Mohawks] were sent for,
reciev'd their Presents after a short Conference, & din'd with the
Governour & Gentlemen in the Tent, & after Dinner the Govr. took
his Leave of them.
30th. Saturday at Deerfield. The Housetonnocks were sent for,
& after some Conference reciev'd their Presents, & were dismist.
Then the Scattacooks were sent for & in like manner reciev'd their
Presents, the Mohegans [Mohawks] reciev'd theirs after Dinner
without any further Conference. These three Tribes [Housatonics,
Scattakooks, Caghnawagas] din'd with the Governour.
31st. Sabbath Day at Deerfield. In the forenoon, the Revd. Mr.
[John] Sergeant was ordain'd to preach the Gospel to the Tribe of
the Housetonnock Indians. The Revd. Mr. [Jonathan] Ashley of
Deerfield began with Prayer, the Revd. Mr. [Nathaniel] Appleton
of Cambridge preach'd from 2 Tim : 2 : 21. ' If a man therefore purge
himself from these he shall be a Vessell unto Honour, sanctified &
meet for the Master's use, & prepared unto every good work. ' The
Revd. Mr. [William] Williams of Hatfield gave the charge, & the
Revd. Mr [Stephen] Williams of Springfield the right hand of Fel-
lowship. In the afternoon the Revd. Mr Williams of Springfield
preach'd from 2 : Is : 4 : ' And he shall judge among the nations,
& shall rebuke many peoples : and they shall beat their swords into
ploughshares, & their Spears into Pruning Hooks.'"
Sept. 1, Monday, they rode up to Fort Dummer; Sept. 2, they
rode through Northfield, Montague, Sunderland, and Hadley, to
Kelloggs ferry, where the Governor and party crossed over to North-
ampton ; Sept. 3, they went to Westfield. and thence to Springfield ;
Sept. 4, homeward bound, they reached Brookfield ; Sept. 5, at
Marlborough ; and Sept. 6, arrived at Boston.
In the official report of the Conference by Gov. Belcher, there is
a notable lack of the picturesque and embellished oratory which
writers generally put into the mouths of Indian speakers. In fact,
the language of Gov. Belcher is more figurative than that of the In-
dians.
*The Caghnawagas were an offshoot of the Mohawks, one of the Five Xations.
They had been converted by Catholic missionaries acd induced to remove and settle
on the Sorel River in Canada. There they were a bulwark against invasion from the
South. They were known as " French Mohawks. "

* This entry begins what is left of the church baptisms of Rev. David Barnes — con-
tained in loosely-sewed sheets, without covers, preserved at the Xorwell Bank. There
appears to be a hiatus in these records from 1757 to this entry. Rev. Dr. Barnes re-
tired from the ministry in 1809, and was succeeded by Rev. Samuel Deane. Besides
the baptisms, there are marriages, church admissions, dismissals, etc.

TAYER (THAYER) FAMILY ENTRIES IX THE PARISH
REGISTER OF THORNBURY, GLOUCESTERSHIRE,
ENGLAND.
Communicated by Walter Faxon, Esq., and Edwasd Henry Whorf, Esq.
With Introduction and Notes by Henry Ernest Woods, A.M.
The parish of Thornbury is in the western part of Gloucestershire,
the town being a short distance from the river Severn. It is eleven
miles north from Bristol, from which port it is probable that
Thomas and Richard Tayer sailed for New England.* The Thornbury
parish register is from 1538, with breaks from 1645 to 1650 and
from 1679 to 1684.
Thomas Tayer was in Boston, Mass., before 24 Feb. 1639-40,
when land was granted to him at Mount "Wollaston (Braintree,
Mass.) for " 9 heads " in his family, f these consisting of himself
and wife Margery, his sons Thomas, Ferdinando and Shadrach,
perhaps two daughters, Sarah| and Hannah, § born soon after his
arrival in New England, and possibly two servants.
Richard Tayer, a widower, presumably a younger brother of
Thomas, came to New England in 1641 with eight children, || and
settled at Braintree, Mass., afterwards removing to Boston. His
children are identified as Richard, Sarah, Jael, Deborah, Zachariah,
Hester, Nathaniel and Cornelius. IT
It is likely that the Nathaniel Thayer who was in Taunton be-
fore 1668,** and the Benjamin Tayer who died in Newport, R. I.,
in 1716, |f were related to Thomas and Richard.
The root of the family name, from "taw": to dress skins, \% is
made clear in the earlier spelling of the name at Thornbury. The
letter " h " was added soon after the emigrants came to New Eng-
* Register, vol. 37, page 84, and vol. 58, page 225 and note.
f Boston Record Commissioners' Report, ZSTo. 2, page 50.
% Sarah Thayer and Jonathan Hay ward were married 6 May, 1663, in Braintree.
i Hannah Thayer and Samuel Hayden were married 28 Oct., 1664, in Braintree.

land ; but in the line of the family descended from Ferdinando*
(Thomas') of Mendon, Mass., that letter was silent — as in Thomas
and Thompson — until early in the last century. No coat-of-arm3
appears on any tablet or monument of the family at the parish church
(St. Mary) at Thombury, and the fact that Edward Tayer of
Oldbury-on-Severn, in the parish of Thornbury, was disclaimed by
the heralds at their Visitation of Gloucestershire in 1623, for using
arms without proof of authority, would show that the family was
not armorial. The name is now extinct in Thornbury.
A family spelling the name Theyer and Thayer, and having the
same root from " taw,"* has long been at Brockworth in Glouces-
tershire,f a parish 25 miles north-east of Thornbury; and there
was an armorial family of Tawyer at Raunds in Northamptonshire, \
about 80 miles north-east of Brockworth and 105 miles from Thorn-
bury ; and also an armorial family of Thayer at Great Baddow
and later at Thaydon Garnon in county. Essex, § afterwards of Lon-
don || ; but no connection between these families has been estab-
lished, so far as known.
In an account^ of " Able and Sufficient Men in Body fit for His
Majesty's Service in the Wars, within the County of Gloucester,
• • in the Month of August, 1608," which is given in three classes,
1 (1) those about 20 years of age, (2) those about 40 years of age,
and (3) those between 50 and 60 years of age, there appear
in Thornbury : Edward, John, Nicholas, and Richard Tayer,
all of the second class, and "William Martimer, of the first class ; in
Stinchcomb, 8 miles north-east from Thornbury : John Thayer
(gent.), of the second class; and in Brockworth and its vicinity:
John Theyer, of the first class, Richard, Roger, Thomas, Walter,
and William Theyer, of the second class, Gabriel, Giles, John,
and Thomas Thayer, of the first class, and William Thayer of the
second class.
In Shakespeare's " A Midsummer Night's Dream " there is a stage
direction in the First Folio: " \_Enter~\ Tawyer with a trumpet."
This refers to a William Tawier, or Tawyer, a subordinate in the
employ of John Hemminge who was one of the members of the
Globe Theatre Company and one of the editors of the First Folio.
William Tawier was buried in St. Saviour's Church, Southwark,
in June, 1625.** -•

300 Descendants of Andrew Benton* [July,
ANDREW BENTON OF MILFORD AND HARTFORD,
CONN., AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
By John H. Benton, Esq., of Washington, D. C.
1. John1 Benton, of the parish of Epping, co. Essex, England, aDd
Mary Southernwood, were married at Epping, May 25, 1 618. (For anj
account of the family in England, see Charles E. Benton's " Caleb Benton
and Sarah Bishop, their Ancestors and their Descendants," Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., 1906.)
Their children were :
2. Andrew, bapt. Oct. 15, 1620.
Thomas, bapt. Aug. 25, 1622.
Marie, bapt. June 29, 1625.
Elizabeth, bapt. Aug. 31, 1628.
[Here occurs a register hiatus of 8 years.]
John, bapt. Mar. 10, 1639.
The register shows the burial of a John Benton, Feb. 12, 1662, and of "the
widdow Benton," June 5, 1 665, but there is uncertainty as to their identity.
That the above record of Andrew, baptized Oct. 15, 1620, relates to
Andrew Benton the emigrant is deduced from the facts that his tomb-
stone in Hartford (whither he removed from Milford) shows he was "aged
63 yrs." at his death, July 31, 1683, thus agreeing with the probable time
of birth, and that the name of John (his father) was given to three of his
children, two of whom died in infancy, and the name of Mary (his mother)
was given his second daughter.
That he was nearly related to Edward Benton the emigrant may be in-
ferred from their coming together to America ; and a coincidence of Chris-
tian names and other data suggests that John the father of Andrew the
emigrant was probably a son of Andrew and Maria Benton, parents of
Edward the emigrant ; and if so, he was an older son whose birth failed
of registration in the Epping parish records, or, possibly he was a son of
the John Benton, baptized Apr. 14, 1588, whose father, Andrew Benton,
born in 1548, inherited by will, in 1569, the manor of Shingle Hall, at
Epping, of which his father, John Benton, became the owner in 1552.
In view, therfore, of the uneertaiuty as to au earlier ancestry, I choose
to begin the ancestral line with John and Mary (Southernwood.)
2. Andrew2 Benton (John1) was allotted parcel No. 64 at the appor-
tionment in Nov., 1639, of the land at Milford, Conn., bought from the
Indians in Feb. of that year. It contained three acres, and was situated
on the west side of Half Mile Brook, near the crossing of what is now
Spring and Hill streets, and to this were added several other parcels of
ground. He married first, probably in 1 649, Hannah, daughter of George
Stocking of Hartford, a first settler there in 1636. They united with the
church at Milford, he on Mar. 5, 1648, and she on Oct. 13, 1650, and
were dismissed to Hartford, Mar., 1666, whither they had removed as early
as 1602. Here he was a fenceviewer in 1663 and '64, a juror in 1664 and
'67, was a freeman in May, 1665, and a suppressor of " disorders during
public worship " (during the Hartford Controversy) and collector of min-
ister's rates in 1667. He separated to the Second Church in Feb., 1670,
1906.] Descendants of Andrew Benton. 301
with his wife, daughter Hannah, and his fathers-in-law, Stocking and Cole.
He married second, probably in 1C73, Anne, daughter of John Cole, " a
godly man of some public trust." She was the. " bewitched maid " on
whose account, mainly, Nathaniel Greensmith and his wife were hanged
for witchcraft, Jan. 25, 1663. Goffe, the regicide, then hi hiding at Mil-
ford, writes in his diary, Feb. 24, that after the hanging " the maid was
well"; and Cotton Mather's Magnalia, in 1684, says of her that "she
is restored to health, united with the church, and living in good re-
pute." She died testate, Apr. 19, 1685, leaving an estate of £60.12.6, to
be divided among her three surviving children, of whom Ebenezer was
given a double portion because of " impotency." Hannah, his first wife,
died probably in 1672. He was buried in Center Church Cemetery, and
his gravestone, near the rear wall of the church, reads : "Andrew Ben-
ton Aged 63 tears- He dted rvxy 31 Ano 1683." His estate, ap-
praised at £345.17.19, was administered by his son Joseph, and distributed,
Dec. 18, 1683, to his widow, and children, Andrew Samuel, Joseph, Mary,
and Dorothy, by his first wife, and Ebenezer, Lydia, and Hannah, by his
second wife.
The homestead, formerly owned by Nathaniel Greensmith, was at the
junction of the roads leading to Wethersfield and Farmington, and on the
west side of the present Wethersfield Avenue. At the death of the widow,
it became the property of his son Joseph Benton, who sold it in June, 1 693.
He owned several other parcels of land, one of which in the " Five Mile
Lay Out," in East Hartford, was distributed to his eight surviving child-
ren, Mar. 24, 1689.

ried second, Feb. 10, 1698, Sarah, daughter of Bevil Waters of

1720, a selectman in 1721 and '22, a first deacon of the church,

between the towns of Tolland and Coventry, in 1722, his house
and three acres of land fell within the latter, but by agreement he
was "still accounted an inhabitant" of Tolland. He was at New-
ington, Conn., Nov. 23, 1739, and in 1742 he removed, probably

ENGLISH ORIGIN OF THE AMERICAN DEARBORNS.
Communicated by Victor Chaxxixq Sanborn, Esq., of Chicago, 111.
Perhaps misled by "Tradition," the investigators of families
originating with Wheelwright and his Exeter Combination have
turned from the blazed trail which leads into Lincolnshire, as indi-
cated by the late Col. Chester and by " Long John " Wentworth.
Thus the Towles are said to be Irish, and the Dearborns to have
come from Devonshire.
The volumes of Lincoln Wills, in course of publication by the
British Record Society, give ample clues to local families, as do
always the documents of diocesan registries of probate, whose records
mainly deal with families of small possessions, distinguished from
those whose wealth or ambition inclined them to register their
wills in the Prerogative Courts of Canterbury or York. In these
Lincoln volumes appear many Towle wills, showing a family of
that name residing in North Lincolnshire, and there are also a few
Dearborn wills which I think show conclusively the origin of our
American Dearborns to have been next door to the English home
of their religious leader, John Wheelwright.
The following abstracts of Dearborn wills show a family of that
name originating in Hogsthorpe, Lincolnshire (a parish next to
Mumby where the Wheelwrights came from, and the very place
where Wheelwright bought land from one Francis Levet), and
branching into Binbrooke, Sibsey, Spilsby, and Hannay, thus lead-
1906.] The American Dearborns. 309
ing the genealogist into five Lincoln parishes whose registers,
extending as they do to the early 16th century, will undoubtedly
furnish forth the Dearborn ancestry.
The Dearborns were of yeoman stock, and the name does not
appear in any ancient records or pedigrees which I have found. It
will be seen that these wills mention Christian names identical with
our early Dearborns, except for the emigrant Godfrey, whom I
surmise to have been a son of Thomas, the cousin of Henry of Han-
nay in 1635. The earliest name, Michael (uncommon in New Eng-
land families), appears in the third American generation as the son
of Ebenezer, who was the grandson of Godfrey.
My interest in the Dearborns being purely collateral, and I have not
traced the family farther than the clues here printed. I found these
in searching for the English origin of my ancestor Thomas Levet,
who, like Godfrey Dearborn, followed Wheelwright to Exeter and
moved to Hampton, where he established a home and left many
descendants. I hope to print in the Register, ere long, what I
have discovered as to Levet's Lincoln and Yorkshire origin.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY.
By Geo. A. Gordon, A.M., Recording Secretary.
Boston, Massachusetts, 4 April, 1906. The New England Historic Genea-
logical Society held a stated meeting at half past two o'clock this afteruoon in
Marshall 1J. Wilder hall, Society's building, 18 Somerset street, which was

Brunswick, Me., was introduced as the essayist of the meeting. Mr. Chapman
read a deeply interesting and discriminating paper on Old Flud Ireson, unfolding
the history of the event on which the tradition is founded, and citing co-
temporary statements and documents. The thanks of the meeting were cordially
voted, and a copy requested for deposit in the archives of the Society and, also,
for a contribution to the Register.
The executive officers, severally, presented reports, which were received,
read, accepted and ordered on file.
Twenty-two new members were elected.
On motion, it was
Voted, That the By-laws be amended by substituting the word "last" for

"Wednesday in January of each year in Boston, notice of which shall be sent to
Resident and Life Members by the Recording Secretary, one week in advance.
The Treasurer was authorized to sell and make title to house No. i West-

NOTES. AND QUERIES.
Notes.
General Enoch Poor was bora in Andover, Mass., 21 June, 1736, but early
became a citizen of Exeter, N. H. He was colonel in the 2d Regiment of New
Hampshire troops in the Revolutionary army, and died near Hackeusack, N. J.,
9 Sept., 1780. The Report of the Adjutant General of New Hampshire for 1866,
vol. ii, p. 339 note, says: "He was killed in a duel with a French Officer."
This story passed until the Hon. Ellis Ames of Canton, Mass., communicated a
paper to the Massachusetts Historical Society, stating that Gen. Poor was
killed in a duel with Maj. John Porter, a Massachusetts officer. (1 Proceedings
xix. 256-261.)
Both of these statements, however, are incorrect, according to the following
deposition which was made shortly after Gen. Poor's death.

Early American Emigrants. — The late Mr. Hotten in his introduction to
the " Original List of Emigrants to America" tells us that the early settlers
left the old country because of persecution — political and religious. The pro-
ceedings against the remonstrants were taken in the Courts of Star Chamber
and High Commission. All the decree books of the first named jurisdiction are
lost, and many of those of the latter, and so all interested in American aucestry
have been prevented from using the records of the fines and punishments as a
means of genealogical information. This hindrance has now been removed
by the important discovery that two sets of fines imposed by the Star Cham-
ber and High Commission exist in the Public Record Office, one series for
both Courts appears to be perfect, but some of the other set have been lost.
As they, in each case, give residence of the delinquent, aud in some instances
name the wife and children, the importance of this find to the descendants of
* Major Jeremiah Fogg, the son of Rev. Jeremiah and Elizabeth (Parsons) Fogg,
was born in Kensington, N. H., in 17-19. He was graduated from Harvard College in
1768, and was an Adjutant in Col. Poor's regiment in Mav, 1775, and a Brigade Major
in 1782. He died 26 May, 1808.
t William Parker, the son of Hon. William and Elizabeth (Grafton) Parker, was
born in Portsmouth, N. H., in 1731. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1751,
and began the practice of law in Exeter in 1765. He was Register of Probate for many
years, and 1 Jan., 1790, he received the appointment of Judge of Common Pleas for
Rockingham Co., which office he held until his resignation in 1807. He married Eliza-
beth Fogg, a sister of Mai. Jeremiah Fogg, and had six children. He died 5 June,
1813.

Andrews. — The following note shows the participation of minors in the land
purchases in the Old Colony :
Under the heading " Henry Andrews of Taunton," Hon. Josiah H. Drummond
published an account of the earliest generations of the Andrews family of
Taunton, Mass., in the Register, vol. 51, page 453, and I published a supple-
mentary article in the Register, vol. 52, page 16. Concerning the data in these two
articles, Mr. Drummond and I were in substantial accord except as to the dates
of birth and death of Henry3 Andrews (Henry,2 Henry1). We had a long dis-
cussion on these points, but were unable to come to an agreement. The matter
is now definitely settled by statements found in an old Bible, the property of
the Old Colony Historical Society, formerly belonging to Josiah4 Andrews (son
of Henry3) who recorded therein the deaths of his parents. This Bible was
printed in Edinburgh in 1726. Ou the inside of the front cover is written :
"Josiah Andrews his Book god give him grace their into Look that when the
Bel Begin to toal the Lord have Marcy ou this Sovl." On the inside of the back
cover is written : " this book bot in ye year 1729 price 0-11-0." And on a
blank page is inscribed the following :
"ianuary ye 25: 1734-5 henry andrews seuyer desest being in ye seuenty
" forth year of his eage
" March yc 20 1736 Mary andrews died being in ye seventy'-11 year of her eage "
Hence, Henry3 Andrews was born in 1661 ; or, more exactlv, between Jan. 25,
1660-1, and Jan. 25, 1661-2.
The importance of definitely settling this birth-date— the reason for the long
discussion and extended search among the records by Mr. Drummond and oth-
ers— lies in the light it sheds ou the rules and customs of the early settlers in
the admission of associates in the land purchases.
In the list of Taunton South Purchase Proprietors, Nov. 26, 1672, occur the
names of Henry Andrews and Henry Andrews Junior. The unanimous agreement
of all the genealogists who have searched over and over again all the known
records, is that these were Henry2 Andrews and his son Henry3 Andrews. Not
the slightest trace of any other possible Henry Andrews has been found. Hence
in the beginuing it was assumed that Henry3 Andrews, his father being alive,
was an adult on this last-named date ; but this assumption was soon found to
be erroneous. Then Mr. Drummond studied the records for the laws on the
subject, and, as a result, informed me that he could find nothing forbidding the
1906.] * Notes and Queries. 313
admission of a minor, whose father was living, to purchase rights. If Henry
the father had more than one purchase right, he wrote, there was no reason
why he should not turn over one of these rights to his minor son.
In this same list there is one other parallel case. Peter1 Pitts and his minor
son Samuel2 Pitts were both recorded as purchasers. I have been unable to Mud
any record of the birth of Samuel2 Pitts and therefore am unable to state beyond
peradventure that he was a minor on this date. Yet I am quite sure that he was
born in the year 1655.

Allyn-Gilbert. — Capt. Thomas Allyn, the second son of Matthew and
Margaret (Wyatt), was with his father an early settler in Windsor, Conn. He
married, Oct. 21, 1658, Abigail, the eldest child of the Rev. John Warham of
Dorchester, Mass., and Windsor, Conn. Their youngest child, Hester or Esther,
born Oct., 1679, married Ebenezer Gilbert of Hartford, Conn., son of Jonathan
(the Colony Marshal and Indian Commissioner) and his second wife Mary
Welles the neice of Gov. Thomas Welles. Ebenezer was own cou>in to Jona-
than Belcher the Colonial governor of Massachusetts and, later, of New Jersey.
His father by his will, dated Sept. 10, 1774, among other provisions gave him
300 acres and upwards of land situated in what is now Berlin, New Britain, and
possibly Meriden, and gave Hester £100. His estate, inventoried Feb. 12, 1682,
was, £2484 17 s 09 d. After his mother's death on July 3, 1700, they removed
to Great Swamp Parish (Kensington — Worthington — Berlin), where he built,
before 1717, a brick house on Christian Lane, made from clay taken from his
own land, not far from old Wethersfield bounds. The house is standing and
has always been in the ownership of a Gilbert by direct descent from Ebenezer.
He died in 1736, leaving an estate inventoried at £ 3S24 12 s 8 d. His wife died
Oct. 4, 1750, leaving an estate inventoried at £326 5s lid. The -writer is a
descendant in the fifth generation. Chakles S. Ensign*.

Muxcy. — In a communication to the Register, vol. 50, page 4S3, it is stated
that Hannah2, daughter of William1 Adams of Ipswich, Mass., married Francis
Muncy, in 1659, and second, John Kimball; and the same statement appears in
the Maine Historical Register, vol. 9, page SCO, and in the Essex Antiquarian,
vol. 2, page 87.
The facts are that Francis Muncy moved to Brookhaven, Long Island, where he
had Lot 22 in 1G64, and where he died in 1675, administration of his estate being
granted his widow on 10 Sept. 1675. She married, that same year, Johu Rams-
den (see New York Marriages; and Town Records of Brookhaven, L. I., page
80), which is also proved by a record in which the two sons [John and Samuel]
of Francis and Hannah (Adams) Muncy are called " sons in law" [step sous]
of John Ramsden of Newtown, and agree to live with him and help him.
John Muncy, son of Francis and Hannah, married Hannah2, daughter of Rev.
Nathaniel1 Brewster, and died 19 Feb. 1090-1. It was probably his widow,
Hannah, who married John Kimball. William Lincoln* Palmer.

A Symbol of Terminal Contraction*. — There has often been observed by
expert copyists of old manuscripts a flourish or quirk at the end of certain
words, which has not been reproduced or adequately indicated in transcription.
It is frequently found ; and as common instauces may be given the words
"Seer:," ■< RespV "Drai" for Draper, etc. We have in general use today
the abbreviations " oz." and " viz."; and the character " 5 " was, according to
the lexicographers, " anciently used as a sign of terminal contraction." Now
that attention is called to this identity of the flourish at the end and the symbol
" 3 ," it is hoped that its use in that way may be adopted by copyists and editors
of early manuscripts. Alfred B. Page.

Cary Pedigree.— (See Waters's Gleanings, vol. 2, page 1058.) One of the
daughters of Richard Cary (the elder) of Bristol, by his second wife Johan,
was Anne who married Nicholas Balle of Totnes in Devonshire, merchant, and
by him had several children. The sons all died unmarried, the daughters mar-
ried and had children. Mr. G. E. Cokayne* of the Heralds College is descended
from one of the daughters. Another of the daughters married Sir Ralph
Winwood, Secretary of State. Their mother, Anne Balle, widow, married Sir
Thomas Bodley, founder of the Bodleian Library.
Talcott Pedigree. — (See Waters's Gleanings, vol. 2, page 1126.) The wife
of Thomas Talcott of Horkesley, 1634, was Thomas Ball, not Bull. The Balls
were located in that neighborhood at the end of the 15th century, and continued
there, though in humble circumstances, till the beginning of the 19th century.

English Research. — The Committee on English Research, of the New Eng-
land Historic Genealogical Society, begs to call attention to the desirability
of reviving investigation concerning the English ancestfy of the pioneers of
New Euglaud. From 1883 to 1899, former Committees secured funds by which
valuable researches among the wills of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in
London were carried on by Heury F. Waters, Esq., the results of which were
published in the Register, giving clues which lead to determining the ancestry
of many of the early settlers of New England ; but since Mr. Waters's work
was relinquished, comparatively little has been accomplished by the Society in
that direction.
The Committee now solicits funds for continuing research in England, on
the ancestry of the early New England colonists, the results to appear in the
Register, and it would be glad to receive suggestions and information on this
subject.
Clues, not generally known, as to the origin of several early emigrants, have
come into the Committee's hands, and the Secretary of the Committee will be
glad to give information to anyone who may desire to make investigations.

The following letter has been received from the compiler: —
" A large part of the Hopkins Genealogy which I was preparing was in press
and would soon have been published. Our fire has totally destroyed the labor
of years, and it is with regret that I announce that I shall not again attempt to
take up its compilation.
I trust, however, that some one else may undertake the work, and such as-
sistance as I may be able to furnish from memory is always at command. In
order that such compilers may not be deterred from taking up the work, by the
belief that I still have it in hand, I should appreciate the favor of a notice in
the Register to the effect that I have discontinued its compilation.

The English family of Cary is in this volume traced to Adam de Kari, lord
of Castle Kari in 1198. Besides the main line, itself displaying chiefly the
names of knights, three brauches of Cary nobles are included in the genealogy,
those of Baron Hunsdon, the Earl of Monmouth, and Viscount Falkland, and
in addition to these, the Clovelly, Cockiugton and Torre Abbe, and Somer-
setshire lines of Carys. The history of these families is presented in an inter-
esting manner, and the author says that it is " an absolute certainty that they
were our ancestors." The volume is a fine one in appearance, with clear print,
wide margins, attractive illustrations, and good binding. There is no index.

An unusual use of numbers is made in this work, to which allusion is thus made
in the publishers' note : " The numbers in the index of this genealogy refer to
sections in which the names indexed are treated . . . The pages of the book
are not numbered, the numerals at the top of- each page simply indicating the
sections found on that page." This system was devised by the author. The
volume is a fine example of the work of the Grafton Press.

character as that of Mr. Shepard, who was an associate of the Mathers, the
Sewalls and the Saltonstalls, and who was distinguished for his patriotism. His
eminence as a preacher is evident from the fact that he was invited to deliver
the annual election sermon, May 25, 1715. A list of his works follows the

The re-publication of this fragment of Governor Bradford's Letter Book, at

by the rarity of both editions of the third volume of the first series of the Col-

in 1794 and reprinted in 1810. Through Prince's Chronology it is known that
many of the letters used in Bradford's History of Plymouth Plantation were

; There is nothing of interest or importance pertaining to Lyndeborough which
has not received due attention in these volumes. The abundant information
furnished is arranged under the captions usually found in town histories.
"Old Cellar Holes" and "Town Fairs," however, are subjects not so often
introduced in works of this kind, and illustrate, together with such literature
as the poem on small-pox, the successful manner in which, from beginning to
end, the authors have enlivened their undertaking. From the " Summary View"
to the " Mortuary Record," the historical portion of the work, including ample
biographical sketches, is thoroughly treated. The Genealogies, occupying two
hundred and eighty pages, are a most valuable addition to the history. There
is an "Index of names, places and subjects." The volumes are well printed
and substantially bound.

This history of Plymouth, N. H., was prepared under direction of a Com-
mittee of the town, and not the least of their wisdom was the selection of
Mr. Stearns as the historian. Mr. Stearns, by an ample knowledge of sources,
methodical preparation of chapters, and possessing a sense for detecting vital
information, has produced a history of which Plymouth may well be proud.
Volume I. treats of the proprietors and settlers, the affairs of state, militia, school

lutionary war period is fiuely and fully treated. Volume II. embraces gene-
alogies, keeping close to the resident families, who were from the older towns,
and of the fourth and fifth generations from the Puritan settlers. The gene-

umes make above 1400 pages, of which 800 are genealogies.

The special event commemorated in this volume is the grant by the Dutch

in " New Netherland." The celebration attracted the sympathy of Gentile
as well as Jew, as is shown by such names among its participants as President
Roosevelt, Ex-President Cleveland, Governor Higgins, Bishops Greer and Law-
rence, President Eliot, and Lieut. -Governor Guild. These were among the
speakers at Carnegie Hall, and at Faneuil Hall, Boston. The " Selected Ad-
dresses" were delivered the same day in various other cities. There is an
appendix consisting principally of " Selected Editorial Utterances from the
Newspaper Press," and correspondence. A frontispiece represents a " Com-

DEATHS.
Samuel Adams Drake, long a member of
this Society, and the son of one of its
chief founders, died of Bright' s disease,
at his home in Kennebunkport, Me.,
Dec. 4, 1905. He had nearly reached
the age of 72 years, having been born
in Boston, Dec. 20, 1833. His father,
Samuel Gardner Drake, needs no more
than the merest word of passing honor
and gratitude from this Society, so well
are his fidelity and efficiency in the
founding of this organization and in
the real science of genealogy, known.
His ancestry went back through the
founders of Hampton, N. H., to the red
hills of Devonshire and the clan which
gave the world the renowned navigator,
Sir Francis Drake ; the English con-
nections were not completely traced
out, though the family group was ascer-
tained. But the subject of this sketch
depended neither on his remote ances-
tors nor his celebrated father for the
honor of his name. As a young man,
he made his way to California, and did
his part as a gold-hunter. At a later
time, he betook himself to Kansas, and
threw his energies into the development
of that state. There he was living
when the Civil War broke out ; and
so strongly did he feel the error of
Disunion that he became a leader in or-
ganizing Union forces. The state of
Missouri appointed him a Brigadier-
General for this work ; and when he
had performed that special task, he
was commissioned Colonel of a regi-
ment in Kansas, and led his troops to
active and heroic service in the strife
which waged over Missouri and the
border regions.
When he took up the line of author-
ship he naturally saw events in a broad
way, which no man not familiar with
war could see ; and his writings show
remarkable comprehension of the stra-
tegic and the ultimate effects of the
epochs he described. All the time he
was a lover of the beautiful, delighting
to paint the quiet homes and attractive
resting places of the people no less
than the arenas of strife. He lacked
none of his father's historic sense, and
was fond of the study of antiquity and
the biography of notable persons.
Withal he dreamed by times, and gave
legends and tales with cleverness. Year
by year he won friends by his frank-
ness, blended well with rare courtesy
in listening and great helpfulness in
communicating. Among the members
of Melrose and Kennebunkport par-
ishes, of the Roundabout Club, U. S.
Grant Post, G. A. R., the Loyal Legion,
this Society and other associations, he
held a high place for his witty and
valuable communications and his com-
panionability.
The summer sojourners of Kenne-
bunk and Kennebunkport, many of
them gifted and reputed, loved to linger
in his simple library, see his nuggets
of book and manuscript, and get in
touch with his refreshing, unconven-
tional currents of thought. When oc-
casion called for it, he had a power of
timely public speech which made his
words memorable. The writer recalls
how well he showed, in a local celebra-
tion of the centennial of the organiza-
tion of our government, the wisdom of
the Maker of History in raising up the
leaders of the Revolution and of the
establishment of our republic.
A list of his published writings may
be made without order of composition
or in exact statement of titles, to close
this glimpse of the man and his life : —
Old Landmarks of Boston, Around the
Hub, Old Boston Taverns, NewEngland
Legends, Historic Mansions Around
Boston, Our Colonial Homes, History
of Middlesex County, Historic Fields
and Mansions of Middlesex, Old Land-
marks of Middlesex, On Plymouth Rock,
Watchfires of '76, Myths and Fables of
To-day, Border Wars, Captain Nelson,
General Israel Putnam, The White
Mountains, Nooks and Corners of the
New England Coast, The Taking of
Louisburg, Burgoyne's Invasion, Cam-
paign of Trenton, The Making of Vir-
ginia and the Middle Colonies, The
Making of the Ohio Valley States, The
Making of the Great We^t, The Making
of New England, The Battle of Gettys-
burg, The Young Vigilantes.
At the time of his death, he was en-
gaged on an uncompleted History of
the United States which his father had
begun. General Drake also wrote many
magazine articles of merit. He married,
Oct. 5, 1866, Olive Nowell, born Oct.
•5, 1837, daughter of David and Esther
(Jones) Grant of Kennebunkport, who
died Dec. 12, 1S85, leaving him two
daughters, Louise Isabel, wife of Arthur
Harry Woodman of Melrose, and Alice
Gardner, a teacher in Melrose Public
Schools, who has been the especial de-
light and companion of his later years.
From his home by the sea the body was
brought to his former residence, Mel-
rose, and laid in Wyoming Cemetery.

STEPHEN SALISBURY, A.M.
By Waldo Lincoln", A.B.
Stephen Salisbury, who was born March 31, 1835, at Worces-
ter, and died there November 16, 1905, was descended from John
Salisbury, a " mariner " of Boston, whose name first appears in a
tax list for 1689, and who was twice married, first to Annabel, who
died September 7, 1694, by whom he had three children : John,
born January 5, 1690, died December 15, 1704, and Nicholas and
James, twins, born August 20, 1694, both of whom probably died
with their mother; second to Bridget Williams, to whom, he was
published September 25, 1695, and by whom he had two children :
Nicholas, born October 28, 1697, and Benjamin, born November
7, 1699 ; the latter married Deborah Stearns of Watertown, and
had a daughter, Deborah, who was buried beside her parents in
Granary Burying Ground, Boston, but there is no record of their
having other children.
Nicholas Salisbury was a " small merchant " at Boston, but through
his children became connected with rising and socially prominent
families. He died December 11, 1748, at Boston. His wife was
Martha, daughter of Josiah and Rebecca (Elbridge) Saunders of
Boston, who was born April 22, 1704, at Boston and died there
February 18, 1792. They had seven sons, four of whom died in
childhood and one- never married. The sixth son, Samuel, was
twice married and had four sons, of whom one died in infancy, one
died unmarried, and a third, the oldest, Stephen, married twice,
having by his first wife, Maria Morgan, one son who recently died
in the West without male heirs ; and by his second wife, Nancy
Gardner, three sons, of whom one died in infancy, one never mar-
ried, and the third, Stephen, died in 1875, leaving one son now
living and married but without children. Samuel's fourth son,
Josiah, had one son, the late Edward Elbridge Salisbury of New
Haven, who left no children.

32G Stephen Salisbury. [Oct.
The seventh son and youngest child of Nicholas and Martha
(Saunders) Salisbury was Stephen, born September 25, 1746, at
Boston, died May 11, 1829, at Worcester. He married, January
31, 1797, at the age of fifty-one years, Elizabeth, daughter of
Edward and Elizabeth (Harris) Tuckerman of Boston, who was
born January 30, 1768, at Boston and died there October 19, 1851.
They had three children, of whom but one, Stephen, lived to adoles-
cence. Stephen, Jr., who was born March 8, 1798, at "Worcester,
and died there August 24, 1884, was three times married:
first, November 7, 1833, to Rebekah Scott, daughter of Aaron and
Phila (Walker) Dean of Charlestown, N. H., who was born
December 21, 1812, and died July 24, 1843; second, June 25,
1850, to Mrs. Nancy (Hoard) Lincoln, widow of Captain George
Lincoln of Worcester who was killed, February 23, 1847, at the
battle of Buena Vista and was the son of the late Governor Levi
Lincoln, she was daughter of Silvius and Nancy Mary (DeVillers)
Hoard of Ogdensburg, N. Y., was born October 26, 1820, at Ant-
werp, N. Y., and died September 4, 1852, at Worcester, having
had a daughter by Mr. Lincoln but no child by Mr. Salisbury ;
third, June 2, 1856, to Mrs. Mary Grosvenor Bangs, widow of
Edward Dillingham Bangs of AVorcester who died April 21, 1838,
and daughter of Moses and Mary (Sykes) Grosvenor, she was born
January 14, 1800, at North Wilbraham, and died September 25,
1864, at Worcester, without children. By his first wife, Rebekah
Scott Dean, Mr. Salisbury had one child, Stephen, the subject of
this memoir, who was, as has been shown, the last but one of the
surviving descendants of John Salisbury, the founder of the
family so far as it has been fraced, to bear the name of Salisbury,
and actually the last of the Worcester branch, and, he dying unmar-
ried, this old and honorable New England family, associated for
over two hundred years with all that is highest and best in New
England life, connected by marriage with many names eminent in
colonial and national history, and for one hundred and thirty years
representing the aristocracy and wealth of what is now the second
city of Massachusetts, has thus become practically extinct.
The first Stephen Salisbury associated himself in business with
his eldest brother, Samuel, under the name of S. and S. Salisbury,
as merchants in Boston, and came to Worcester in 1767, at the age
of twenty-one, to establish a branch of the parent house, while his
brother remained in Boston to manage the business there. The busi-
ness was large and lucrative, and he left to his son, the second Stephen,
a fortune which by the natural growth of the town and by wise man-
agement and judicious investment made him one of the wealthiest
men in Worcester County. He in turn left a large estate to his son,
Stephen, who treated it as his father had done, more as a trust for
the benefit of his townsmen than for his own gsatification. Simple

in tastes and unostentations in manner and appearance, not caring
for display and unassuming in deportment, both father and eon,
though born to the purple, if that expression may be applied to
American life, present a vivid contrast to the garishness of to-day,
when dollars seem to count for more than birth and to displace, in
the vulgar mind, the refinements of education and breeding. It is
difficult to think of Worcester without a Stephen Salisbury, for
although none of those who have borne the name have been promi-
nent in the government of the town, their influence has been felt in
every enterprise, and their assistance has been sought and freely
given in all worthy charitable and educational undertakings and in
many of the varied business ventures of that busy place.
Stephen Salisbury, the third, was left motherless at the age of
eight years, and from that time until his father's death, in 1884,
his character was moulded more by his father, "whose sole con-
stant companion he was," as he himself says, "for more than thirty
years," than by any other influence. He first attended, at the age
of six, a private infant school kept by Mrs. Levi Heywood, but
was taken by his parents, during the following winter, 1841-2, to
Savannah, Ga. Upon his return he was placed in the private
6chool of Mrs. Jonathan Wood, and, in 1844, was sent to Boston
to attend Miss Bradford's school for boys, where he remained a
year, when he returned to Worcester and entered the public schools,
ending with the Worcester High School, from which he entered
Harvard College in the class of 1856, and received the degrees of
A.B. and A.M. in due course. After graduation he studied for a
winter at the Frederick William University in Berlin, and attended
lectures at the Ecole de Droit in Paris, and, in the summer of 1857,
travelled extensively in Europe, extending his trip to Turkey,
Greece and Asia Minor. During the following winter he resumed
his studies in Berlin, and, in the spring, in company with his father's
family, visited Great Britain. Returning to Worcester in 1858,
after an absence of more than two years, he became a student of
law in the Harvard Law School, where he received the degree of
LL.B. in 1861. In the following winter he visited his classmate
David Casares, in Yucatan, and there laid the foundation for his
interest in American archeology which persisted during his life.
He, later, furnished means for extensive exploration of existing
ruins in Central America, and contributed many articles concerning
them to the American Antiquarian Society, which he afterwards
published in three books on Maya antiquities, namely, in 1877,
"The Mayas and the Source of their History," in 1879, "Maya
Archeology and Notes <fe Yucatan," and in 1880, "Maya History
and Mexican Copper Tools." In these books he gave the results
of his own observations and translations of the reports of the men
who, under his encouragement, carried on the exploration.
328 Stephen Salisbury. [Oct.
Returning to Worcester he entered the law office of Dewey and
Williams, and was admitted to the Worcester County Bar in Octo-
ber, 1863, but he never actively practiced his profession, which he
had studied to prepare himself for the care of the large estate of his
father which he was to inherit and through which he was called to
many positions of trust and responsibility which fully occupied his
time. With the exception of a second visit to Yucatan and Mexico
in 1885, and a trip to Europe in 1888, and another in 1890, he
passed the remainder of his life in Worcester. After his father's
death in 1884 he lived alone, a simple bachelor's life, not given
much to entertainment though hospitable and fond of company,
especially of that of the young.
Though of strong patriotic feelings he did not serve in the war
of the Rebellion, his father requiring his services at home. He
was drafted in 1863, but furnished a substitute. In December,
1863, he was elected to the Worcester Common Council, and served
for three years, being president of the board in 1866. In 1892 he
was elected to the Massachusetts Senate, and wras twice re-elected,
serving in 1893, '94 and '95. He was chairman of the committees
on education, on banks and banking, and on the treasury, and a
member of the committee on libraries. He was a member of the
sinking fund commission of Worcester, from 1889 until his death,
and a trustee of Worcester City Hospital from 1871 to 1889, and
secretary of the board for all but one year of that time. Aside
from these he held no public offices, declining a nomination for
alderman after his service in the Council, and frequently refusing
to be nominated for mayor ; but he always took an interest in pub-
lic affairs, and was, by general consent, the most public spirited
citizen of Worcester. He was always a republican in politics, and
was chief marshal of the republican parade in Worcester in the
presidential campaign of 1896. His financial interests occupied
much of his time, and he was connected as director or trustee with
many corporations of a sefni-public nature and served them all
faithfully and well. He succeeded his father, in 1884, as president
of the Worcester National Bank, which office he held at his death.
t He became president of the Worcester County Institution for Sav-
ings in 1882, and retained that office until 1905, when he was
obliged to resign by the law prohibiting one man from serving as
president of a national and a savings bank. He succeeded his
father as trustee of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and became
president of the trustees in 1895, and held that office until October,
1905, when he refused a re-election as the condition of his health
required a release from some of his active duties. At the same
time and for the same reason he resigned as vice-president of the
trustees of Clark University, where he had been serving as virtual
president since the death of the late Senator Hoar.

He was by no means a brilliant man, being rather slow of thought
and hesitating in speech, but he generally 6aid the right thing at
the right time and was frequently felicitous in his use of the right
words to express his ideas. Though always interested in historical
studies he wrote but little ; his books on the Mayas, already men-
tioned, and a memorial volume on his father, which was largely a
compilation, being all that he published. He was a member of the
Massachusetts Historical Society, the American Antiquarian Society,
of which he was president from 1887 until his death, the American
Geographical Society, the Archaeological Institute of America, the
Worcester Society of Antiquity, the Sociedad Mexicana de Geogra-
fia y Estadistica, the Conservatorio Yucatano, and the Xew England
Historic Genealogical Society, which last he joined, as a life mem-
ber, April 3, 1889.
To Mr. Salisbury's public spirit Worcester owes the deepest
gratitude. He was liberal and bounteous in his public and private
charities, and his support of public institutions was almost unlim-
ited both in the money and time which he gave to them. He gave
much to the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as had his father
before him, and presented a large tract of land to the city for a
public park upon which he expended much for its development. He
laid out with great wisdom the greater portion of his home estate,
which with its unoccupied acreage had hitherto been rather a hind-
rance to the growth of the' city in that direction, and succeeded, by
liberal gifts of land and money and by his wise and liberal policy
of development, in making it, with its group of public and semi-
public buildings and pleasant homes, a most attractive residence
quarter. His crowning work was the Worcester Art Museum
which he was instrumental in having established, to which he con-
tributed lavishly during his life and which, by his munificent bequest
at his death, should eventually make Worcester the possessor of
one of the finest and most important art collections in the country.
Some have criticised his ffifts of land as being but a means to the
increase of his own wealth, and, undoubtedly, it did enhance the
value of his remaining real estate, but wealth was not what he
cared for. His own life was most simple and unobtrusive and his
personal wants but few. He had no sympathy for display, no
taste for ostentation. He was thoroughly old-fashioned in his ideas,
and modern manners and methods made him, in late life, rather
pessimistic. His whole life was a protest against the present vul-
garity of riches. His sense of duty was extreme and governed all
his actions, so much so that he often sacrificed his comfort to it,
and his generosity was but the expression of this sense of duty,
of the feeling that his wealth was a public trust which he should
administer for the public good.

UDALL FAMILY RECORD.
Communicated by John Dexisox Champlix, Esq., of New York City.
The following record of two generations of the Udall family is
from an account book of Dr. Lionel Udall, a practising physician
at Stonington, Conn., in the first half of the eighteenth century.
Dr. Udall, who is ignored by Wheeler in his history of the town,
was a man of considerable prominence, and appears to have had
a large practice in eastern Connecticut and throughout Rhode
Island, extending from New London to Newport. He is said to
have been born in England about 1690, to have come early to this

JOHN SOLENDINE OF DUNSTABLE, MASS., AND HIS
DESCENDANTS.
By Ethel Stanwood Bolton, B.A., of Shirley, Mass.
1. John1 Solendine, a carpenter by trade, was a settler at Dunstable,
Mass., about 1674. No definite facts are known of his former residence,
either in this country or in England, but he seems to have associated upon
terms of equality with the Tyngs, Ushers, and other prominent families of
Dunstable. In 1682, he " was engaged to complete the unfinished meeting-
house, which was probably but little more than a log shanty ; * " he also
built the first bridge across Salmon Brook. The first marriage entered
upon the records of the town was that of John Solendine and Elizabeth
* History of Dunstable.
1906.] John Solendine and his Descendants. 367
Usher, on August 2, 1680.* Elizabeth Usher was the daughter of Robert
Usher of Stamford, Conn., and his wife Elizabeth the widow of Jeremy
Jaggers,f and a niece of Hezekiah Usher of Dunstable. Robert Usher
had died when Elizabeth was still a young girl, and had left her in charge
of her uncle. John Solendine and his wife settled in Dunstable, where his
four children were born. He lived in a fortified house. In 1692, Maj.
Thomas Hinchman, who commanded all the troops in that part of the
Province, 6ent a petition to the General Court, in which he states that
" all ye Inhabitants of Dunstable excepting 2 familys desire to draw off.
viz Jno Sollendine & Thos Lun whose Garrisons are nere to each other,
.these seem willing to themselves with 10 or 12 souldrs." John
Solendine stayed, and as late as 1711 resided in one of the seven fortified
houses in Dunstable, with four soldiers regularly quartered there. About
the time of his marriage, his wife's uncle, Hezekiah Usher, bought of Major
Simon Willard three fourths of " Nonacoicus Farm," now a part of the
town of Ayer, Mass. At that time " Nonacoicus " was partly in Groton
and partly in Harvard, its northern boundary being the brook still called
Nonacoicus. Willard had built a blockhouse on the farm, and the Ushers
took possession of it, and lived there. This farm bore a rather prominent
part in the fortunes of the Solendines.
Children :
i. Sarah,2 b. Apr. 15, 1682 (16S0, in Middlesex Co. Records).
2. ii. John, b. May 8, 1683.
iii. Elizabeth, b. June 3, 1685 ; m. in Charlestown, July 20, 1710, Wil-
liam Farr, also of Dunstable,
iv. Alice, b. Jan. 16, 1687.
2. John2 Solendine (John1) was born in Dunstable, May 8, 1683.
Of his early life little is known, but he evidently followed the
Ushers to Groton, for, some time before 1718, he married Susanna
Woods.$ According to a deed§ she was the daughter of Samuel
Woods of Groton, and a sister of Samuel Woods, Jr., of Alice Woods,
of Rachel wife of Jonathan Whitcomb, and Mary wife of John
Goss. The Ushers had left Groton 6ome time before John Solen-
dine went there, for after the death of his great-uncle Hezekiah,
Hezekiah Usher, Jr., his son and executor, had sold Nonacoicus to
Jonathan Tyng of Dunstable. The younger Usher was a prosperous
merchant of Boston. The indenture relating to the sale was signed
on May 11, 1687, "between Hezekiah Usher, of Boston, Merchant,
Heir and Executor of Hezeziah Usher late of Boston, deceased,"
and Jonathan Tyng of Dunstable guardian of John Tyng "his son
& Heir apparent & intrust to & for y6 sd Jn° Tyng one of the Grand-
children of ye said Hezekiah Usher deceased."||
In 1713, John Solendine, and Henry Farwell of Dunstable, bought
from Jonathan Tyng the part of " Nonacoicus Farm " which had
formerly belonged to his great-uncle*[ Hezekiah Usher. To this
* Recorded as Apr. 2, 1679, in the marriages returned to Middlesex County, and as
Apr. 4, 1679, in the records of Chelmsford, Mass.
t Robert Usher married first, Ma v 13, 1659, Elizabeth Jaggers, and had Elizabeth,
b. Feb. 25, 1659-60, Robert, Mehitable, and Sarah; and married second, Elizabeth
Symms. He was a member of the General Court in 1665,1667.
J She was born about 1686, the daughter of Samuel* (Samuel1) and Hannah (Farwell)
Woods of Groton. — Editor.

they added seventy acres south-east of the farm, which would be in
the town of Harvard. He apparently, at the time or soon after,
settled on his farm, where he remained for the rest of his life. He
was a very active real estate operator, his holdings being in at least
four towns — Groton, Shirley, Harvard and Lancaster.
In 1738, John Solendine died intestate, aged 55 years, and on Mar.
12, 1739, his widow Susanna was granted letters of administration.*
The total property was valued at £1523: 18: 4. The land "ad-
joining Bartlett" still bears his name, and is known in Shirley a3
" the Solendine Meadows," or " Cellendine " as some deeds have it.
Tho widow Susanna married, in 1739, John Haughton of Bolton,
Mass.
Children :
i. Susanna,3 b. Feb. 11, 1718; m. June 19, 1740, Manassah Divol of

3. v. John, b. Nov. 10, 1729.
4. vi. Isaac, b. Apr. 18, 1732.
3. John8 Solendine (John,3 John1) was born in Groton, Nov. 10, 1729.
In 1738, when their father's estate was administered, he and his
brother Isaac were both called of Lancaster, where they probably re-
sided with their mother and step-father, John Haughton. Just after
John8 came of age, his father's estate was finally distributed, and
he received two pieces of land in Shirley, on one of which was the
"■ Solendine Meadows." He built a house in Shirley, after his mar-
riage in Groton, on June 17, 1752, with Dorcas Whipple, but they
had a short married life. The following year Mrs. Solendine gave
birth to twins, and died almost immediately after. The daughter
Dorcas died the same year ; and notloDg after, John8 and his young
son moved to Lancaster. In 1761, John Solendine was serving on
the western frontier of the colonies, under Capt. Richard Salton-
stall, with many other Lancaster men. He died Apr. 17, 1766, in
Lancaster.
Children :
i. Dorcas,* b. May 23, 1753, in Shirley; d. Aug. 18, 1753.
5. ii. John, b. May 22, 1753, in Shirley.
4. Isaac8 Solendine (John,2 John1) was born in Groton, Apr. 18, 1732.
He was only six years old when his father died, and at least until
1744 he was allowed to live with his mother. In the latter year,
Manassah Divol, his oldest sister's husband, petitioned the Court
and obtained the guardianship of Isaac and his sister Sarah, f No
sooner had Isaac reached his majority, however, than the specu-
lative spirit of his father seized him, and he began to buy real estate.
He bought and sold land in Lancaster, Leominster, Rutland and
other towns until 1804. In that year Jacob Fisher, William Wilder
and John Prentiss, Selectmen of Lancaster, petitioned the Court to

. appoint a guardian for Isaac, that he " does by excessive drinking,
Idleness &c. so spend, waste and lesson his Estate, as thereby to
expose himself to want & suffering circumstances."*
Isaac Solendine never married, so far as is known. He bought
a farm near his brother John, in 1758,f but in 1762 he sold it again,
and followed his brother to Lancaster, where he lived the remain-
der of his life. He died in Lancaster, of consumption, Sept. 16,
1806, aged 75 years.
5. John4 Solendine (John* John,2 John1) was born in Shirley, Mass.,
May 22, 1753. As a young boy, after the death of his mother, he
was taken to Lancaster by his father, and there he spent the rest
of his life. His intention of marriage with Susanna Farwell was
published May 8, 1773. He died of pleurisy, Feb. 25, 1807, aged
55 years. On Mar. 4, 1808, his widow committed suicide, at the
house of her son-in-law, Calvin Wilder.
Children :
i. John,4 1774; d. Nov. 2 or 4, 1825. of consumption, in the Poor
House at Lancaster, aged 51 yrs.
ii. Susanna, m. Dec. 17, 1795, Calvin Wilder of Lancaster.
6. iii. Manassah, b. 1780.
iv. Mary Anne, b. 1795; d. Feb. 25, 1807, aged 12 yrs. 9 mos.
6. Manassah6 Solendine (John* John} John? John1) was born about
1780, in Lancaster. He married, Jan. 1, 1804, Deborah Fairbanks
of Bolton. His six children were all born in Lancaster, where he
lived until 1823. On Feb. 11 of that year, James Parker, Jr., of
Shirley, wrote in his diary, " Manassah Soulendine moved into the
Frost Farm." This farm was on the banks of the Nashua, in " Pine
Plain," lying north of the Catecoonemaug in Shirley. Two years
later, Adeline, his second daughter, went to James Parker, Jr.'s, to
live and work, and on June 10, 1825, Mr. Parker wrote, "Abra-
ham Durant and Adeline Solendine were married at my house and
went off : moved to Westford same day."
On Nov. 8, 1827, Deborah, wife of Manassah Solendine, died of
consumption, aged 46 years, and two years later her daughter Ce-
linda died. Manassah wrote to the Hon. Nathaniel Paine, Judge of
Probate, that it was " inconvenient '" for him to administer the
estate, and requested that Jacob Foster be appointed. He is called
then of Lancaster, and it is probable that he moved to his native
town after the death of his wife.
On Aug. 16, 1832, Manassah Solendine died of consumption.
His wife's gravestone is the only one remaining in Lancaster which
bears the Solendine name.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
Notes.
List of Emigrant Liverymen of London. — The following list is of some
value as, besides the fact of a man having emigrated, we get the name of the
Livery to which he belonged, and from this the record of apprenticeship can
be obtained, giving age, parentage and place of birth.
The book from which this information is taken has no title page nor is it
dated, but it was made about 1801-2, Sir John Earner, knt., being Lord Mayor.
The names in the body of the book are under wards and streets, then follows
that part of London outside the city, next the near counties, then the distant
counties, Wales and Scotland, and finally a list of the Liverymen whose ad-
dresses are unknown or are abroad.
Those who are stated to be in America or abroad are here printed, but some
of the others may have been in America, unknown to the Clerk of the Company,
so the list might repay a search for any individual in America thought to have
come from England.

Thomas Mallet, of Newport, R. I., "came from Great Mario w in y°
county of Buckingham, Old England, and departed this life in the year of our
Lord 1704 on on ye 16 day of January and in ye 56 year of his age," as his grave-
stone in Trinity Church graveyard, Newport, tells us. He left no children, but
was survived by his widow Mary, who was born in 1664, married first, proba-
bly in 1682, Samuel Wilcox of Dartmouth, who died before June 9, 1702,* mar-
ried second, Thomas Mallet, married third, John Sanford of Newport, and died
at Newport, Dec. 15, 1721, in the 57th year of her age according to her grave-
stone inscription, on Jan. 15, 1722, according to the petition below. Her grave-
stone in the Common Buring Ground on Farewell Street, Newport, bears an
armorial design and is described in The Heraldic Journal, vol. iii.
William2 Wood (John1) of Portsmouth, R. I., married Martha2 Earle (Ralph1)
of Portsmouth, as shown by Ralph1 Earle's will, dated Nov. 19, 1673. William2
Wood moved to Dartmouth, Mass., and there died in 1097. The inventory of
his estate was taken in July of that year, and the estate divided among his ten
children, viz.: i. William Wood; ii. George Wood; iii. Josiah Wood; iv.
Daniel Wood; v. John Wood; vi. Joseph Wood; vii. Mr. Mallets icife ; viii.
Sarah Wood ; ix. Margaret Wood; x. Rebecca Wood. (Austin's Gen. Diet, of
R. I., p. 231.)
Hence the name of Thomas Mallet's wife Mary was Mary Wood. By her
first husband, Samuel Wilcox (son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Cook) Wilcox*)
she had three children, whose births, as children "of Samuel Willcocks," are
recorded at Dartmouth, Mass. They were: Jeremiah, born Sept. 24, 1683;
William, born Feb. 2, 1685; and Mary, born Feb. 14, lGSS.f William evidently
died young. Jeremiah and Mary appear at various dates in Newport Land
Evidences ;J and in Oct., 1723, Jeremiah Wilcox, the only son of Mary Sandford
dee'd, late wife of John Sanford of Newport, butcher, and Capt. Thomas
Brooks, whose dee'd wife Mary (formerly Mary Wilcox) was the only daughter
of said Mary Sanford, petitioned the Town Council for a settlement of said
Mary Sanford's estate. § A. D. Hodges, Jr.

Bethune. — In the article on George Bethune, ante, page 23S. Mr. Noyes
states that Bethune came to Boston about 1710, and was a member of the Scots
Charitable Society. He was indeed a member of that Society, joiuiDg in 1705,
and was in Boston earlier than that year, having been a witness on 11 Oct.,
1703, to a document signed by William Gibbins.
Mr. Noyes does not mention the parish in Scotland from whence Bethune
came, neither is it mentioned by Mrs. John A. Weisse in her history of the Be-
thune family. William Bethune, advocate, had the estate of Craigfoodie in a
parish of Fifeshire called Dairsie. It is two miles north-east of Cupar. In
Dairsie Castle lived Archbishop Spottiswood, and there he wrote his Church
History of Scotland. In the parish are also two hills of moderate height,
Foodie and Craigfoodie, both being remarkable for bearing crops nearly to
their summits. That of Craigfoodie is 554 feet high, parts of it being known
as Easter and Wester Craigfoodie. Five miles north-west of Cupar is Creich,
of which the Bethunes were lairds.
William Bethune, advocate, of Craigfoodie, made his will in 1703, and died
in 1706. In the " Inquisitionum lletornatarnm Abbreviatio" we tind under
date of 10 May, 1G80, " Magister Gulielmus Beathune de Craigfuidie advocatus,
haeres Jacobi Beathune filii Roberti Beathune de Bandorie, fratris, — in annuo-
redditu 100 1. de villa et terris de Coull ; in terris de Easter Leathri?k. in speciale
warrautum dictae villae et terrarum de Coull."
George Bethune purchased the estate on the south corner of Washington
and Summer streets, Boston, in 1724. and there erected a brick house which stood
for over a century in the possession of the family, and was known as Be-
thune's Corner. A description of the house shows it to have been a line exam-
ple of the dwellings of that period. Walter Kendall Watkixs.

Gilford. — William3 Gilford (Paul,1 John1), born in Hingham, Mass, in June,

was Elizabeth . What was her parentage and ancestry?

* Thomas Wilson, of Plainficld, Windham eo., Conn., was a son of James Wilson,

mother, Jean Wilson (see Boston Selectmen's Minutes), and settled in t!ie province of
Connecticut, where he lived and died at Plainficld. There James Wilson married
Hannah Spalding, b. 5 Mar. 1717, d. 31) Oct. US32, a daughter o! Jonathan and Judah
(Billins) Spalding (see Spalding Memorial, 775).
Esther Spalding was a daughter of Klcazcr Spalding, b. 1721, d. 1S05, of Plain-
field; and Lois Spalding, b. 1721, d. 1740, a sister of Mr. Wilson's mother. They re-
sided at Windsor, Vt., at the Low Meadows, so called (Spalding Memorial, p. 113). —

Historical Intelligence.
John Hampden.— It is proposed to build in Chalgrove, Oxfordshire, England,
in memory of John Hampden, the patriot, one of the twelve grantees of land
in Connecticut in 1632, who was mortally wounded in the skirmish of Chalgrove
Field in 1643, a Village Hall for general purposes, on a plot of ground within
the Vicarage Glebe. The Vicar has offered the site, and the Patrons (the Dean
and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford) have sanctioned the plan.

Paternal Pedigree. Compiled by Joseph Whitman Bailey. Boston, Mass.
190G. Blue Print Chart. 4 ft. 8 in. by 1 ft. 10 in.
In a note Mr. Bailey says: "While there is some slight difference of au-
thority as regards a few distant and unimportant lines, it is believed that no
such difference exists in any of the more material descents."
Thomas Ferrier and Some of his Descendants. Compiled by Elizabeth Ferrier
Lane. The Independent, Elkhorn, Wisconsin. 1906. 8vo. pp. 56.
Thomas Ferrier came from Ireland, probably in 1729, and in 1731 is found at
Little Britain, in what is now Orange Co., N. Y. At the end of the record of
his descendants are short sections bearing the titles " Vanderoef," " Wisner,"
"Ancestors of Hiram W. Lane," and " Goldin." The print of the pamphlet is
fine, and the amount of matter put into its pages is considerable, and well indexed.
Freese Families. By John Wesley Freese. Published jointly by the Author
and Benjamin Marsh Freese and Edwin Abraham Freese, all Great Grand-
sons of Abraham Freese. 1749-1800. [Cambridge. 1906.] 8vo.pp. 78. 111.
The name of the immigrant Freese of New England has not been discovered.
This genealogy begins with John Freese who settled on Freese's Island, incor-
porated as a part of Deer Isle, Maine. The record of the descendants of his
sons, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, constitutes the greater part of the work, with
with the exception of the "Miscellaneous Data" which consist of "discon-
nected items concerning individual Freeses." The genealogy contains many
biographical details. Print and binding are good, and there are fifteen full-
page illustrations. There is no index.

Ave., New York City.
The title pages indicate the contents of the greater part of the volume, the re-
mainder consisting of " Partial Lines," "Recent Immigrants and their Fami-
lies," '' Supplementary Records connecting with the Connecticut Branch," and
appendixes and indexes. The general accuracy of the work may be inferred
from the statement of the editor that the compiler, though totally blind, being
"blessed with a tenacious memory, was able to so arrange the results of his
investigations that not in a single instance did the editor find confusion in
his lines." It gives a careful and comprehensive record of more than five
thousand individuals, and is a monumental work that every member of the
family can regard with pride and satisfaction. The compiler and editor deserve
great credit for the production of such an excellent genealogy, which is a
finished example of good taste in the printer's art.

Biography is abundant in these pages, and the genealogy Itself, which is ar-

In the chapter of this genealogy which relates to the emigrant ancestor, the
author upsets the pedigree given to John Steevens in the genealogy recently
issued by the Rev. C. Ellis Stevens, LL.D. Exception is also taken to Dr.
Stevens's arrangement of the children of the emigrant. Of the American fam-
ily, the descendants of Thomas,2 son of John,1 have been recorded with special
care. There is an appeudix containing " The Planters Covenant," wills, and
miscellaneous matter. This well compiled and edited book is printed in clear
type on exceptionally good and heavy paper, and is thoroughly indexed.

tory, tradition and memory respecting the homesteads of the Southern part of

ous, as, for instance, that relating to the church meeting " to make enquiry
concerning an alleged contradiction between the Rev. Mr. Fisher and Mrs.
Fisher on the subject of some cherry rum thrown away between them."

After an appreciative recognition of the immense amount of work done by the

ing and indexing the volume, which contains the record of more than five thousand

ous and of superior quality, the greater part being portraits.

The objects of this Society, as stated in the preface, are "to improve the
knowledge of the coast by the several members, upon their arrival from sea,
commuuicating their observations, inwards and outwards, of the variation of
the needle, soundings, courses, distauces, and other remarkable things in writ-
!ing, to be lodged with the society, for the greater security of navigation, and
to raise a common fund for the relief of the members and their families in
poverty, or other adverse circumstances." Interesting as the records of the
society are, they are surpassed by the " Incidents in Lives of Members." A list
of the curiosities in the Society's Museum appropriately follows this latter
section of the work. There is an index of subjects and of members.

The French Blood in America. By Luc lax J. Fosdick. Illustrated. New
York, Chicago, Toronto, London and Edinburgh : Fleming H. Kevell Com-
pany. [1906.] Svo. pp, 448.
This work consists of three books ; the first, " The Rise of Protestantism in
France"; the second, "Early Attempts at Colonization''; the third, "The
French Protestants in America,'' the last book being divided into four parts
entitled respectively, "New England." "The French in New York," "Penn-
sylvania and the Southern States," and "The French in Various Relations."
From this outline of its coutents its comprehensive character will be seen, justi-
fying the author's assertion that no other single volume is its equal in this
respect. From Joan of Arc, who is considered the forerunner of the Protes-
tants, to the settlement of the Huguenots in America, the history of French
Protestantism and of its counectiou with this country is given most fully.
The letter-press and illustrations are in keeping with the general excellence of
the volume, and there is a good index.

This narrative was written by some person in his eighty-fifth year whose name
it has been impossible to ascertain. Though including accounts of the battles
of Treuton and Princeton, it affords no new information respecting either. Its
importance consists in its relation of facts regarding the "twenty-six days
tyranny " of the British and Hessian occupation of Princeton. The notes of the
editor, Mr. V. L. Collins, Reference Librarian of Princeton University Library,
furnish many confirmations of the sufferings inflicted by the hostile army on the
people of New Jersey. In addition to the extensive annotation there is an index.
The Twentieth Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, 1861-1865. By
Brevet Lt. -Colonel George A. Bruce. At the Request of the Officers' As-
sociation of the Regiment. Bostou and New York : Houghton, Mifflin and
Co. The Riverside Press, Cambridge. 1906. 8vb. pp. viii-)-519. 111. Maps.
This regiment, commanded by Col. William Raymond Lee, was known as the
Harvard Regiment from the fact that a large proportion of its officers were
young men from Harvard College. Its services were of the most notable
character, and it is the fifth on the list of regiments that encountered the heavi-
est losses. The engagement at Ball's Bluff, in which this regiment partook and
which was particularly fatal to Massachusetts men, is related with what the
author considers undue prolixity, but which he says " is the only correct and
complete history of it that he has ever seen." The record of the actions of the
regiment, which is compiled from official reports, general and regimental his-
tories, and newspapers, is supplemented by the Roster.
